Yes, many times.

A little small but OK. I'm looking for a comfortable handle for jigging reels. Trolling reels don't need to have a perfect handle. Just a strong one. Most handles on large 50-130 reels are tolerable to me.

Since you are so involved with the reel while jigging is makes sense to have a handle that fits your hand. The handle is very important to me. If it doesn't feel right, it gets uncomfortable very quick. Therefore, I give up, grab a bait, and wait for a bite. I believe that a nice good fitting handle is the key to long periods of jigging.

John Baker does a good job. These reels are a bargin for under 5 bills. Guess I better order quick. These will be a "Go to" reel. Glad to see they are finally hitting the market.

I thought I don't have to buy any more jigging reel for a time being, but you make me think.

I met Baker on the Qualifier 105 two years ago and discussed with him about cow jigging reels.
I am at Newark airport now to fly to PV. I put all my jigging and popping reels in a carry-on bag and all reels were checked one by one at the security point.

Hey Jeremy (jedi423)!

Are you still working on that project with Baker that we discussed?
