Thanks Guys,
I am 4 houses from Blackrock beach. The fishing has been slow off the beach. It never seems to pick up until august. Lots of shoaling and the beach gets shallower every year. I have done okay from the kayak, but nothing great. Moore Rocks has been better. Little Harbor has been slow.
Tagger it is me.
I still have those magged reels, but decided to see if I could use my thumb, so I got a hold of several more 145's, 140's and a 150 and 350, all unmagged. Been at it solid with just my thumb for a few seasons now. It was a challange, but very fun. I am decent at it.
I love the 145 and use it the most right now. I use SAE 50 in the bearings. I am pretty sure that I can equal the distance of my Abu 7500 with my 145. It is a lot of fun to use.
The Penn 350 is kind of bizarre! But it can cast. Mine has a plastic spool and Newell LC-1 bearings. Get funny looks from other casters!
I still throw Newells when I need 5:1 retrieve. They have held up very well. I landed a large Red Drum down in Cape Hatteras with my 220. Thought I would get spooled, but got lucky.
I magged and added a Newell reel seat to a Penn 210 for the inlet at Pt Judith. Iy casts okay, but not up to Abu 7000C3 standards.
Glad to be aboard. Got sick of racist nonsense.
