Do all the regulars at poston prefer dingles? Or are you just trying it out of curiosity?

i really have no idea and cant comment on the regulars.  all i know is to paddle faster when you hear the banjo music

curiosity and laziness i guess?  my 32/14 setup is harder than the 32/22 at some trails so i want to go back and forth with less effort
