Best of the Four

[gillchaser999]

After not being impressed with a couple of Palms Pinwheel Ajing rods , a 5’6” and a 5’9” , I ordered the 5’ version of the Major Craft Aji Do Ajing . And found it to be a fun little rod .

I had to order the 5’8” version of the MC Aji Do .
I’m glad I did .
It’s the best of the four IMO .

While fishing out of my boat earlier, FedEx dropped off my 5’8” Aji Do rod . I saw him sling it onto our porch from the bottom step on my Rind camera.
I’d been catching sticks and leaves for a little over an hour , wishing I was bank fishing somewhere.
So I packed it in , took the boat home , ate some quick lunch , put a reel on my new rod and headed to the town pond .

When I got there , the fish were suspended all around the edge of the bank .
I wasn’t sure I’d catch anything.

It took twenty minutes to catch my first bluegill, which put me ahead of my boat trio in a quarter of the time .
I wasn’t sure I’d there about an hour and a half , but only fished about half that time because a friend of mine showed up and we spent some time discussing a little bit of everything.
Fish time was probably an hour and I caught four .
The new rod is the most sensitive of the group and has a nice bend with a fish on .
And this is with 2# Floroclear. I need to check it out with some braid , and post later .

I don’t know why, but I didn’t enjoy fishing out of my boat today .
Maybe I’ve become a bank only fisherman.
I do like the freedom of being to walk around while bank fishing . And the simplicity of grabbing a couple rods and my camp stool and taking off .
I may be putting my boat up for sale .

One of the gills looked a little rough so I tried to get a pic without touching it and then use my hemostats to remove the jig , pick it up , and toss it back in .
