I mostly just walked a lot to get it. Check into whether heel lifts help. They sped up my cure.

Yes it does help!! Stretching also helps. "gel" insoles now... BIG help!!

A man can never have too much fishing gear 😀
Though I'll admit I do cull my gear down every say 10 yrs or so giving away the ones I find myself not using.
I have an old Mitchel made in France that was my fathers favorite trout reel. The older inside spool before skirted spools became popular. It has a quick spool release, press button. Early 70s I think. You know its drag is still as smooth as silk. He used to take me fishing every chance we got.
Thing with the inside spool as you know was a pain when the line went under it and wrapped around the spindle. I recall numbers of times striking a trout then going to wind, just to see the line was under and not going anywhere. Panic stations! 😂

I still have my two Mitchell 300's from the 60's. Still work.

What I like seeing nowadays is those hard case wallets. I figure it makes my finding more efficient!

The "barrel" was a side post of my exercise machine. ANNNNND.....the pointer was a toy laser one uses to play with their cat, having it chase the red dot.

That's fantastic.

Funny story?

I happened to see someone messing downstairs with my car. I quietly opened the upstairs window. Pointed a barrel out of it and put a laser spot on the culprit where he would notice.

He looked up, saw the laser and this huge barrel pointed in his direction.

He screamed, "Jeeeezusss!!! Look at the size of that shotgun!!!" and disappeared into the woods, still screaming don't shoot, don't shoot!!!!"

The rest of the story?

Cool!
I would be having a talk with the guy...

I used to catch sharks up to 6 foot on a Tica 3500 when in Yeppoon.
Skull draggings no fun. Gets boring after a while reeling in fish with a winch.
Heaviest line I used there was 15lb. Mostly 10 lb.
Though I get that in a river with a fast flow you don't have an option but to go heavy.

Out at the school again tried the other side a few goodies came up. Best was a decent sized silver pendent about 9 inches down. Not too bad though the fire ants were in full force on this side which lead to much anger at times
