I'd rather somebody poke me in the eye with a sharp stick as to have to restring 8 rods... I use to swap out reels when going from pulling jigs to spider rigging. I hated stringing those long poles so much I bought a complete 2nd set of rods just so I wouldn't have to do that. I guess I'm gonna have to get one of those gizmos. Might order me a sham-wow too. LOL
