Been thinking about it for some time and after reading article in recent OTW about conventionals I bought an Abu Garcia 6500CL from CCT. I figured I try it out today at the reservoir casting. I don't quite understand the settings on dual brakes. It sounds a little complicated having to change with different lure weights. Also it was mentioned not to start with a longer rod, have you found this to be true. Any advice on the rod length and brake settings would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
