[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji637] MLF Italian Special
DHL dropped the rod off about 9 last night. Was chomping at the bit to put a crank on it and try it out. Woke this a.m. to rain and low 40’s temps. But folks I went fishing in the rain. Haven’t done that in years. Rod is very stiff, until you hook a fish. Amazed at how the first 1/3 of the rod goes into a pretty deep bend with only a 10 inch trout. Wasn’t expecting that. I was using a Major Craft slow sinking 5 gram Eden minnow. Five grams is the max lure rating but it handles it well. Just like the 63 UL it casts like a dream. Sensitivity is off the charts good. Line was Varivas 2.3# test Ester on a Daiwa Ballistic FW 1000 reel. The feeling you get using this rod when a fish hits doing a steady retrieve is just pure magic. Hooked into 13 trout and as I was wet and cold headed home. Want to wish all a very Merry Christmas and if I can get away will hit the city lake a little tomorrow. Life is good!
