New Spin Rod

[Kenworth]

As I still have a couple of weeks holiday left ( 3 down , 2 to go ) , I went down to my local fishing store and got a new spin rod and reel combo , that I can play with.
8' graphite blank with a carbon tip , matched to a 4000 reel . 40 and 30g metal lures and some jigheads with 3" minnows to put on.
Took it down to gunnamatta yesterday arvo just to try it out , for size , didnt expect any fish as low tide but the mrs wanted a swim so a good chance to try it out.
gee its light ! , feels good and casts well .
Cant wait to try it out in earnest when conditions suit.
Have been dabbling with the idea of getting into spin fishing , over my normal bait fishing for a while, so we will see how it goes over time.
It sure feels nice to handle though :D

Thanks Mate !
Mrs gave me a verbal belting for buying another rod and reel set . "whats wrong with the other 4 sets you have ? Not good enough ! " Ha Ha , I could see her eyes rolling backwards in her head in the fishing shop.
I love going down to my local fishing shop and spending money , I cant help it !

I have heard of some women who will not let there man go into a tackle store unsupervised!

Gotta love a new rod n reel combo ( especially a forbidden one lol ).. Feels even better when it's christened for the first time haha

Do you mind me asking what you actually bought? It's always interesting to see what other people are buying.

Sorry mate , I didnt bother going into specifics , Rods a Rovex Karbonite 8' 3-6kg and a Shimano Cazna 4000FA reel with a mono line.

Seems a nice combo , its super light , casts well , feels good.

Should be good for other applications as well .

Cheers Rick

Nice... Had to Google the rod but it seems like a decent combo for the price! I bought a similar combo a few months ago... A 10' Silstar power tip rod with a 4000 size Shimano Sienna reel. Have only wet a line with it once, off princess pier... But am hoping to hit some beaches with it whenever my life allows.

omg, my rod collection is getting out of control. I had given up buying shoes and spending money on girly stuff ages ago. after all, fishing gear is an investment isn't it? (in my blxxming house it is)

I might even get the rods and reels put in my coffin when I snuff it.

Same sort of setup mate , I cant wait to get into it properly over the next 2 weeks.
