My Newest Precious

Post by skinhead » Wed Feb 22, 2012 9:12 am

With an eye to the summer, and fishing the streams for trout, perch and chub I decided I needed a new u/l rod. After looking around on the web I found one that appeared to meet all my reqiurements, those being a length of 7' - 7'6", max casting weight of 1/8oz, fast action and not too boring to look at. The rod in question is a Hart Night Ranger Evo. It's a 7'3" LRF rod, fast actioned, with a max casting weight of 1/8oz, so all those boxes are ticked. Guides are Fuji Concept Alconites and the reel seat is also Fuji. On looks I'll let you decide.

A Ci4 would also look nice on it. And it is a great finesse reel. Rod looks great :D

Will prbably run it with a Twinpower Mg 1000 PGSDH, but will check out the Fuego. I doubt that I'll use the rod 'til at least April, when the trout season opens on my local streams. Will post pics as and when I catch.

Yesterday I bought a new reel to go with the rod, a Shimano Stradic FI 2500. I work in the trade and received a sale bonus from my employer, with my staff discount I got the reel for a song.

Good work. What pound test do you plan on running?

Loaded up both spools today, one with my employers 5lb flourocarbon and the other with 6lb TufLine Duracast. Not used anything but braid for the last 13 years, so the flouro will be a new expereience.
