I grew up working on charter boats in and around Long Island Sound, and reliable fishing gear has been paramount not only to my profession but also to my life I prefer to subsist off what I catch whenever possible

However, as with most things there are two sides to every argument, and the crisper tip of the new 484 will make it more suitable for the less able multiplier caster and those lacking the skill or the power to pendulum cast
