I was at a show in Utah the 2nd time I saw lefty, had grabbed a couple of rods, found a casting pond with no one around & was laying the full 90' out. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a 4" loop going down the pond, then past it where it piled up against the wall.
"SHIT" I murmured louder than I intended to, turned to look at Lefty smiling at me. He gave me a few tips, watched me & told me to pile it up, miraculously I did, reeled up because I figured I couldn't do it again.
We talked for awhile &he gave me the number to the folks carrying his yarn indicator, I sold the fire out of it at the shop for years. We were going to have him at the shop a few years back with TFO, he fell in a boat & hurt his hand, "DOC" told him to forget touring for a spell.
I saw him in Memphis years back & Charlotte at a show, he was the real deal.
