I got started with saltwater fishing on the piers using those homemade rigs. I used the white w/ red strip MacDonald's coffee straws. The only difference was a 2 oz bank sinker on the bottom instead of clark spoon. Had to have the weight to "cast" which was actually a "flip" then jig back on...
Love it I remember fishing in the creeks at Murrell's Inlet 20 years ago with my now 27 year old nephew taking a nap in the cabin of the V21. Good times
