Just purchased a Ross Canyon big game 5 reel with spare spool. I will be using this for spring steelhead in south East Alaska. Getting into spey fishing so the extra spool will be nice to load one with regular fly line and the other with Skagit line. Can't wait to test it out. Right now I just reel it sitting watching TV like I always do with any new reel I purchase.

I also took out a mortgage and got a new pair of waders. Simms G4Z. I got a great deal on it plus some free swag so it lightened the gut blow. Always buy local and they take care of you. This was my last season with my G3 and will always buys Simms after this last pair. Awesome product. After fishing in downpours on numerous weekends I have to remove my backpack, my wading jacket, remove my holstered pistol and unclasp my waders and roll them down to take a piss and get soaked. Can't wait to use the front zipper.

I just bought my first baitcasting set-up..........picked up a Shimano Citica for $99.00 (reg 139.99) and a Crucial 6'8" rod for $79.00 (reg 159.99). I am starting with some 12lb mono to get the hang of it.

Try using 17-20 lb mono. It will really help with the birdsnests.
switch to thinner mono once your thumb gets used to feathering the spool. Begin with shorter casts until your thumb trained to feather the spool.

Where at if you don't mind me asking.

 

[Bow Man]

Hey Pump they where at Sail in Burlington, they where 129.00, and I had 30.00 left on gift cards so I paid 99.99 for them. I still would have bought them even with out the gift cards, 129.00 for Simms is still a pretty good deal.
