WOW what an honor to have known him..Really neat. I watched a video of him once teaching the 'Pitching Method' With these new braid lines, one can use them spinning reels for worming easily. There is absolutely no memory in Power Pro..I can pin point my cast...and cast longer..I can quickly adjust my drag if I'm in trouble which to me is safer than pushing the button on a baitcaster. I love the GarciaC 104..high gear ratio...smooth reel and I feel very confident using it.
