The other day I was at Cabela's and saw somebody checking the rod bend curve. He just turned the rod tip down on the floor and apply pressure. I'm wondering, "What the ???"
Why would you do this? I don't think he was checking the spline. You could simply just read what rod power and what action. I generally hold the tip lightly to check for sensitivy. If I was curious enough about the bend curve, I'll get various weights and check that from the tip with line running through the line guides.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
