Problems to solve this winter:
Need a reel to replace the short spool Shimano I'd been using on my dedicated topwater rig.
That reel, a Shimano c2000S is supposed to spool enough line for a long cast.
I cast long and have run the spool out of 10 lb fused (equiv of 4 lb mono)
I think Shimano fucked up an otherwise excellent reel there.
Solution: (or maybe not - time will tell)
Abu Garcia Elite Max 20. (this is for river fishing Smallies)
Needz Rodz to replace lower end spinning rods - again the river Smallies.
Ordered one Abu Garcia Veritas Medium Fast 6-12 lb line.
I'm thinking this as my topwater rod and hope it has the hooksetting capability I need on long casts.
Needz replace my 6' 6" utility rod, and jig rod.
Thinking the old Veritas line and Shimano HMG medium short rod (6'/6' 3") respectively.
Dobyns rods may figure in.
