Laughing Off The Big OOF!

We are excited to reveal our best of "worst of" list. It sounds terrible, but we've all had our line and reel team up to go haywire. So we celebrate our losses together in this hall of shame. In previous contests, we had a single winner. We realize with our release of future articles, that we should open up our catagories to the full variety of reels. So there will be 4 winners in the spincaster, spinning, baitcaster and fly reel catagories.

Spincaster Winner

When it goes bad, it goes BAD. Submitted by Christopher Cringle out of Northern Alaska. Ho ho holy moly!

Spinning Reel

WOW, now this is next level. We salute you! Submitted by the heavily seasoned Kentucky native Colonel Sanders

Baitcaster

One of the easier to tangle, it is inevitable. Submitted by the powerful throw of Thomas Bahamma out of the sunny state of Florida

Fly Reel

If this goes bad, you are pushing the boundaries. Submitted by the flying man himself Jimmy 'Superfly' Snookah out of nowhere.
