Looking for a new reel.

Hey Brad,
And maybe it's time to take that Kusse reel off it's pedestal and give it a spin.:>)

Hey Mark
That's the wrong type of reel for the fish I'll be chasing. It will get wet in due course. Just retired so I will have some time to get a new bamboo built this winter.
I need something with a decent drag to stop the carp. Been fishing for bass with the long rod for 50 years and have never had one on the reel. Not one and I have caught my share of big bass.

Sent you a PM. Actually I think it went out twice as my first attempt said my box was full so I retyped it.

What again? Is it going to last this time?

God only knows. The rumor is that 2 Health Departments are fighting for my services. I doubt if they can afford me. Time will tell. You coming to the Michigan Fish In this year?

I would really like to but I have a conflict with another fishing trip.
I have been going the last week of June for a few years to northern Quebec for Pike and Walleye with a friend and his family.
The upside is the average Smallmouth we are catching is around 17-18" with 20"+ not uncommon.
Maybe the Hex would like to move the hatch a week or two.
When is the next best time for the Au Sable?

For me, I like the week or 2 before the Hex hatch. By the way, if an 18" smallmouth is something you don't enjoy catching, just give me a call and I will take your place.

I have used the orvises, okumas, redingtons, box stores but have settled on the Lamsons. awesome reels for the money. the litespeed is a great reel or look for a used velocity. warranty is great, lifetime. they will also c
lean and replace drag bushings anytime you want, even if you buy a used one.
