Trying out some new equipment. I have a pair of lovingly used Abu Garcia Revo sx bait cast reels from my friend Pat. I purchased an Abu Garcia Vendetta 6'6" rod and mounted the black reel on it. I mounted the silver reel on my 2 piece travel rod.
First time on our Maynard lake, the vendetta rig bound up. Couldn't cast. The two piece that I loaded with 10 lb mono cast, but after a few casts the line broke causing a giant backlash mess. Slinking back to the car, I vowed to reload both reels. Definitely massive equipment / operator failure!
Sunday March 20th, I got back to the lake and bravely started using Vendetta, now loaded with 10 lb. Triline mono. Good smooth action, casting with a jig mister twister. I could throw it much further then I've been able to in the past. No fish in evidence, but it's still cold out.
