Fishing Reels, Fishing Lures, Fishing Rods and my Fishing Box.

Fish and Wildlife have been busy stocking lakes everywhere.  Come Saturday, it's fishin' time!!  I'll be haulin' out my fishing reels, lures, rods and gettin' my fishing box organized.  Oops! can't forget the worms.  There are those picky fish that want something alive and wiggling on the end of that hook.  Saturday...how many sleeps is that?

A Fishing Reel Test

These two spinning reels were part of a comparison article in Field and Stream, April 2010 issue.  The Shimano got a 5 star rating by a test panel of 4 men, ranging in age from 26 to 58.  The Abu Garcia got a 3 star rating.  They said that the Shimao Sedona - PRO "casts like a dream", CON - "the bail seemed a little lightweight."  The Abu Garcia Cardinal's comments were PRO -  "No bells and whistles, but that's not a bad thing", and CON -  "There was some play in the anti-reverse."   The other two fishing reels that were part of this test were Strike Tech ST30GA at 4 stars and the Okuma Epixor EF 30B at 3 1/2 stars. Check them out the next time you go to your favourite sports shop.

Fishing Trout Lures

Fishless

It has been a fishless winter so far...(sigh). Every time I get the chance to get to the river, it either is flooded, moving too fast, or just plain nasty weather. Although the Northwest has had a warmer than average winter, the fishing sucks. So I haven't posted in awhile, sorry. I promise to get more diligent about trying to catch a fish so I can tell you all about it. The giantness, the break-your-scale weight, the fight, the broken fishing reel trying to get it to shore, the moment of triumph when I give it a big smackin' kiss and send it back to grow just a little bigger. All those things I promise. Soon...
