This past week I traded my usual surf rod for something a little different — a six-foot-six ultralight spinning setup, rated for lures as light as one-sixteenth of an ounce, spooled with 15-pound braid and a 15-pound fluorocarbon leader. No waders, no 3am alarm, no giant plugs. Just a bathing suit, a tiny rod, and …
