Tried the gear today fishing, a bit windy and cold and the lake was difficult, most of the fisherman had one only one fish.
But the rod casts very well, the reel works excelent and looks good, got a new line also.
It was more of a wading the lake rather then fishing, learned about a new place in the water, 6 hours on my feet straight.
Anyhow got two brown trouts.
I'm a tired, happy man
