Easier to shorten than lengthen!

D5 weight in 4mm?
Re: D5 weight in 4mm?
Yes, for sure. So I'm going to row it around for a bit more and make absolutely sure before I make any decision. I'm actually getting the hang of rowing it now, so I'm hesitating.
I took it out on Friday afternoon and fished East Lake here in Oregon. I caught about five little Rainbow trout and one nice 12" Brown trout. The important thing is that it was very comfortable to anchor, stand and fish and get the fish off the line with very little trouble. No fish big enough to need a net, yet. It was easy in and out of the water, too. It rows easily enough to navigate the whole lake, and I wasn't overly tired at the end of 4+ hours on the lake, although I will be investing in a seat cushion, and a rod holder.

I'd like to rig up a "cane" backrest for my V12. After a few hours my lower back gets a little tired.

Congrats on the splash!
That picture does the job, but it doesn't mean you can't post more... find that charger...

Just a follow-up to the shortening of the oars - worked like a charm! Rowing is far easier now. We now return you to your normally scheduled broadcast.
