For sometime now ive been looking into an upside down rod and reel,LOL.I had been browsing various sites looking for a rod,i wanted a short 6 ft 6 rod,id bid on a few and missed out on them.Finally when i was away in october id put a cheeky bid on an unused 6 ft 6 rod,when we came back from dinner i found i had won it,Brand new £20,happy days..................................................
Nash jerk the specialist,had never been used,still had film on cork handle..............................
Next job was to get a reel,i had looked at a few,but asked a couple of very keen lure anglers what was the best possible reel i could start off with.I was suggested 3 reels to get and as the pair of them had suggested the same type of reel,i went with the Abu.
Loaded this morning,backed the reel with some mono,tied with an arbor knot,then 100 lb braid joined to the mono with a uni to uni knot........................................
Side view of the abu c3 6501,small dint left handside ,hardly noticeable,got for a good price...............
Rod and reel set up...............................................
I decided this year i would get a set up as when i go to america i love lure fishing,then i come back have the odd chuck with a fixed spool and spinning rod.I am looking now to add an edge to my pike fishing,was told off mike it will become an addiction.I have some lures suitable to use but will take my time sourceing some jerks and cranks out.........................................................
