clemsy Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Woke up this morning at 7 for a fish, just purchased the shimano stradic FJ 1000 yesterday, hoping to test it out today. Worked the wall surrounding the bay, flicking a hardbodied lure. First to fall victim to the new reel was a whiting, which fought like a champ and so did my new reel, after a few minutes on the small but strong reel, it came up and measured in at 38cm, a new PB! After the whiting, an undersized flathead and another flathead at 41cm (which I kept for a feed after losing 2 lures). Finished the morning at around 11:30, all in all, a good session with an extraordinary reel! All on 5lb braid with 4lb leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
