· #1 Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) I got a few high end conventional rods that I have never seen the water. Tbh I have never even tried using any before. Because I have heard it's alot harder to use. But last night I met an old timer at FINS who suggested I give it a try. To say the least the guy seemed to be able to cast as far as I could , but with much better accuracy. Again this will be my first attempt at using a non spinning reel. So I'm just looking for something to get started with. That is also easy to use. Thanks gents Edited July 17, 2020 by Bxbandit Revised 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know next to nothing about non spinning reals. On another note that drink looks pretty refreshing, is this some Jedi mind trick. Reel looks sexy btw .
