Hey guys,
Three days since my last entry and I have done no fishing still. We got hit by a heat wave that was absolutly brutal to be out in last week and I have had zero energy since starting the no smoking thing. Spent the rest of last week just soaking in the A/C and getting plans together for the ice season. I also spent the most part of this morning rigging all my ice rods with Schooley reels. I decided to keep two of my perch/ walleye rods spinning reels on, but all of my pan-fish rods are now schooley rods. I tried running a few fly reels last year but they just didn't do it for me. Seemed like it made more sense for me to switch to the schooleys based on price alone I can get 20 of the plastic schooley's for the same price as one of the Okuma SLV's I ran last year, And get the overall same result. The result being the no line twist that the larger arbor of these type of reels provides as well as a 1:1 ratio and still maintain close to the same retrieve rate as the spinning gear.
After posting about the micro spoons plastics I looked at the site and was able to earn some free samples. They should have been sent out yesterday so look for them in future posts as well as a review once I get my hands on them!
