KingsRule Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Well after using dads outfit last week , i was pretty impressed with the advantage rod. Went into the tackle shop and tried out a few and ended up choosing the same, it felt the best and was good value , and great build quality! Yesterday i flicked plastics around in the morning , couldnt catch a fish to save my life during that session ,unlike mario & co . Returned in the arvo to try and get something on the last of the rising tide , i hooked up a half decent trev, but being the first time hooked up on the outfit..the drag wasnt set properly and it didnt last to long. After that i had to leave so decided a mid morning session was in order. Went down about 9am~ thismorning , was very windy and managed my first fish on the new outfit, a humble flatty , considering the conditions i was pretty pleased. No monster at roughly 40cm but nice to get one. Jeez, i love not having to go to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
