braved the elements today because...why not.navigated sammamish white caps for a couple hours, trolled with wind, under wind power only, took a couple greenhorns out to cath some fish,. the one pole had all the action. boated 2 cuts, lost 3 at boat, and hand several strikes.
old fly rod, leaded line 3 colors out, ford fender, and used a tip "Que" gave me on the wedding ring, tiped with some worm and BAM!
it works! had fun.
