You are dead on about the rod torque issues.

Snagged is right on about the Smitty's...

I have a numbness in my left arm from my shoulder to my elbow. It concentrates in my elbow. Gimme a spinner or my Smitty's harness for a long fight. I have lengthened the butts on my rods to allow them to rest in my armpit on my right side...

Yup. Right on both.

I have been told it is cs, does that sound right? During the night escpecially and whenever they are required to do a difficut thing for a long period they go numb I wake up 5 or 6 times a night and have to shake them. It started about the second year of working long range 15 to 20 hours a day and goes and comes depending on how hard the work is fishing. What do you guys suggest?

pulled on another ray tonight for about an hour (another pulled hook!) on my acid wrapped 700XH with triangular foregrips with a good plate and both hands were worthless almost after about 20 minutes. I also got to play wiht hte new Saragosa 14K tonight and got nailed on a 6oz kroc spoon by a jack fish which in turn ended up with worthless hands fairly quickly. Hopefully the jack won't lose too much weight tonight or it will be in first place when the weigh station opens, as for the hands I guess I'm going to try to wrap the foregrips first. If thats a no go I guess I will go ahead and get them fixed..
