Slime Time

Broke in my new Graywolf 4’11” fiberglass UL this morning .
I got to fish about 40 minutes and caught eleven fish .
It was paired with Shimano Soare XR500spg , spooled with 2# Floroclear.
I used one of my micro jigs , a 3mm tungsten bead jighead on a size 14 streamer hook .
Olive chenille body with a rabbit fur tail . Weighs right at .3g .
The rod did great ! Even the smaller gills put a nice bend in the rod almost to the cork . The one bigger gill was super fun on the glass .
It’s not as sensitive as the Major Craft Finetail glass , or the Palms Egeria glass , but bends more easily than they do .
The rod cast great for a limber rod , it’s not whippy . Casting the micro .3g jig I was getting 20-25 feet .
Most of my casts were a bow and arrow cast to shoot under the docks . About 15-18’ shooting .
The rod recovers nicely .
I look forward to trying my .5g and .8g jigs . I’m sure my distance will increase with the heavier jigs .
A fun rod . Stable and firm enough to cast jigs but bends like the Daiwa Iprimi with a fish on . Makes the little ones fun !

Congrats on your outing! Rod certainly looks great.

Awesome. Glad your new rod works well for you. It definitely looks good.

The rod looks great and works well for you too. I’m liking the transparent white, very cool against all of todays dark gray and black. Good fish for a short trip, ya done good mister!

Nice pans, and the rod bend looks great.

Man that first boy fish is the bomb , congratulations bro and kaboom

Nice looking combo, certainly has a uniform bend to it. Think it would be a fun trout rod as well. Some great colors on the gills.
