Reminder to Retie Those Knots

Occasionally it costs me, but no more than new knots have.

Its easy to say your knots never fail when nothing ever pulls on your line, save for the occasional sea robin.

Not until you too can catch sea robins on top water lures....should you feel free to dispense useless advice on the internet. Now keep your head behind the ball, don't take your clubhead outside the swing path, and try not to fart while the group ahead of you is teeing off.
