I hooked a big milky on my Fireblood on 10lb a couple of years back, spool was gone in a about 2 mins. Got it on video with my mates pissing themselves in the back ground. Was great fun while it lasted

Re: Ligh tackle spin reels
Figured i might do a update rods pretty much done, to minimise weight i decided to only use a fore grip and cut it in half , and i used all single foot guides, I was going to use the new fuji k series guides but they were a bit expensive at $40 or so.
Just gota save up for the reel now, maybe ittl be my christmas present tomyself hahah

Stradic fj 2500 good value and price from fishing and outdoor world. I have it paired with a DAM Athena 5 foot rod - great for the kids and I like to use it myself.

I have a Shimano 2500 Twinpower and a Stella 2500 FE. Drag on the Stella is so much better.
Even managed to land my first metery as well with it. So much fun on light tackle.

Re: Ligh tackle spin reels
Hi Kp,
Looks like you have a good solid workbench, hopefully it's nice and flat!
Probably an ignorant question, but what is the benefit in having that style of grip? - not meant to be a negative comment on your rod by any means; in fact well done for having the skills to build one!, but there are a few out there and have always wondered what the advantages are.

Re: Ligh tackle spin reels
Hi trier
Luckily for me i have a mate that does the rods because i definitely dont have the tallent to do that. Well the whole reason i did the split but was to minimse weight the rod blank i have got is at its thickest is only like 7 or 8 mm and its a really light blank aswell ,
Crusty- nah sorry im a shimano guy, i know people like daiwa but i dont like them as much as i like shimano.
