The ocean's like a washing machine. The anchovies are laughing at you from the recesses of the bait tank. Standing erect is an exercise in futility. And it looks like rain. Now someone's saying you must use plug tackle.

Whew. It was just a bad dream. How silly of you to think you couldn't use your BaitRunner when you bought it specifically because you can use it in any situation. You can cast beautifully with it. You can fly-line a live bait with the bail closed and still have spool control. You can even use it for big freshwater species. It's perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Now wipe the sweat off your brow and wake up. You have a boat to catch.
