New Combo

Post by BassFisher83 » Tue Jan 19, 2016 6:44 am

Finally getting around to posting something in the show and tell section. I bought the reel about a month or two ago off some no name bronzefly guy. The rod came in a few weeks ago - arrived days after ordering. The reel has already seen the master Ian and has upgraded gear ratio to 6.3 as well as drag and bearings. This combo will be my go to shallow cranking rod - Mann's 1-, MB 1.2, LC 1.5, you get the idea. Was a little worried about its ability to handle the lower end (1/4oz), but it threw a Mann's 1- plenty far in the yard. Few months and the on the water test will tell. I'll most likely spool it with 12lb sniper.

Thanks guys. It's my first 'Diawa' (joke from a previous thread of mine). Really looking forward to putting a hurting on some fish next year.
