Really enjoying the pics - weirpools, fat chub and JDM gear! I'm going to dig up some pics and post them - curious about the Megabass 4 piece - what model is that? Looks like an Air Bamboo but no such variant listed on MB site.

It's one of the Benten spinning rods from the Megabass Ippukan line of "fishing lifestyle" rods.

You have some very nice kit...and great looking places to fish!! Some nice catches too!!

I was lucky enough to get a St Croix Premier Travel Rod while I could...seems like they have stopped making them and only the Triumph line travel rods are currently available.

Have the Daiwa Spinmatic C travel Rod also...not anywhere near high quality...but fun.

Various fish from a span of a few years. Just throwing them out there in no particular order. Some were caught on a 25 size Pflueger XT, some were taken with the SS700. The prevailing rod was the Elite Tech River Runner for most of them.

Some night time crappie

Chunky little bluegill. Gills are one of the scrappiest little fighters there is. Around the beginning of June out here is the magic time for these little monsters. Nothing more fun than a criminally insane gill stripping line

Yellow perch

Barely got this pickerel, literally hanging on by a thread

Brook trout

That was an "accident" ... I never purposely targeted trout. That lake gives up a few every season it seems. Stockers, water is too warm to sustain breeding.

Some rainbows and brookies from my favorite lake. Most were caught on TSR rods running a Stella 1000FE or Caridiff CI-4+ C2000. Also included is my new favorite ultralight rod a Shoreluck SLL-68ULS. Catching a 7lb rainbow on a TSR is damn fun.

Shoreluck + Stella = 5lb rainbow

TSR + Certate Vintage Custom 1500 = 7lb rainbow

Fattest brookie I've ever caught came in just a hair under 4lb

Another big brookie

The weight of the rod is flat ridiculous and the torzite micro guides have to be seen to be believed. I've backpacked with it using a St Croix hard tube travel case. I'm not sure I'd want it in 4pc to be honest, too many joints.

Can't understand the dislike of modern multi section rods. Must be leftover bias from the metal ferrule days of yore ... modern spigot joints are a beautiful thing.

Keep the pics coming, especially from overseas. I love seeing different species and scenery.

Speaking of scenery ...

That kayak seems to be the way to go.

Cool pictures!

The good...Batman affliation.

The bad...that vicious, nasty, horrible...yet amazingly engineered...nest of pain.

Found this post on Bream Master on the 09 Emeraldas reel...nice pictures of it.
