Twin Lin 258's

Post by rugbyfisherman » Thu Feb 20, 2014 3:01 pm

After neglecting my spinning gear for years I decided to make a JDM upgrade :mrgreen: . After hearing great things about the Lin 258 HM I spent some time tracking down a couple. Based on the reviews I’ve heard these are solid all purpose spinning reels. With the brutal winter it will be awhile before I can test these on the open water but they feel incredibly buttery in hand.

I decided to pair one Lin with a drop shot rod. Since I am already in at the deep end with the reels I had to pair them with a rod on par. The rod was easier to obtain, almost too easy, thanks to Pro J Tackle – the Phase 3 Aaron Martens limited.

that is a solid reel. Since they came out ive always wanted one, but i just cant see myself using a spinning reel with such a shallow spool. If the spool was a little deeper id be all over that reel as well.. best of luck!
