Two-handed saltwater
Now is the time for striper fishing, and there's no better way to chase them then with a two-handed rod. For saltwater fishing, two-handed rods can be used for both overhead and spey casting techniques. Overhead casting is ideal for surf conditions and areas where there is plenty of back casting room. Spey techniques are ideal for areas of moving water and places where there is minimal room for a back-cast. Both techniques give the angler advantages in distance, ease of execution and changing direction, doing so with much less effort and fatigue.
Free two-hand saltwater demonstration Saturday July 12th at 2:00 PM here at the store.  Call for more info 973 244 5990.
