Yeah, I'm headin' out... think you might be interested? Gonna hit the incoming and if I feel the need, maybe a bit of the outgoing, though I want to get the boat out tomorrow morning... but that can turn into an afternoon/evening venture.
I just got a cabelas 8' salt striker for Karen/company to use, so I want to field test that rod with eels. Feels like a decent little surf rod... they had a combo with a PennZ reel so I figured why not, always good to have an extra reel even though I'd intended to put my penn 5500 on there... what a piece of crap that reel is. I know its only a $65 reel, but its one of those damn clickers! I hate reels that click. Otherwise, its just not very smooth and it just feels cheaply made. I haven't thrown a cast with it, but that was my first impression. Maybe since my last new spinning reel was a shimano stradic which feels incredibly smooth, I'm overstating what a piece of junk it feels like.
Anyways, the point is, that while I really don't want to go fishing tonight, I just have to in order to test out this rod. My dad is coming up in three weeks and we should be hammerin' some nice fish by then, so I need a capable outfit for him... right?
