Hmmm... The preponderance of opinion seems to be that acquiring climbing
spikes without a clear idea of how to use them properly is one of the more
bonehead ideas I've had of late. At least I have my nickname for the next
Sprint! HI!
As to alternate methods... that 3/8" carriage bolt is probably a bit much
for a even 6 weight fly rod, and besides it would probably break the tippet
on the back cast. Anyway, I'm glad some folks have found a legitimate use
for a spinning reel. :-) Personally, archery sounds like the way to go for
me. In days past I was a good shot, but its been a few years. At least I
have some training and experience with the pointy end, which is more that I
can say for climbing spikes.
