Shakespear Tiger open face rod & reel kit, I CoinStared my jar to get it!
Was on the river today with my noob's closed reel & caught a fish, but the reel was mostly a total pain in the butt! On cast, many times it would just hang and my hook just dropped in the water.
So I get home an hour ago, tie on my practice plug and give it a few tries in the front yard.
Guys & gals, even though this was a dirt cheap setup, its like moving up from a skateboard to a Cadillac!
The cast has no resistance spooling, timing and control ("trigger finger") is way more natural and can cast a much greater distance with much improved accuracy.
Retrieving is sweet as honey... Crank is smooth as snot on a doorknob and spools onto the reel wonderfully!
I wish I had just got this to start with... Looking forward to using it tomorrow!!
