New reel -- Props to Joe!!
Got a new reels guys... didn't pay a dime for it either.
Team Daiwa Advantage 153h7... The reels it extremely good condition, feels like a nice little reel so far, pretty smooth fishing a spinnerbait, and seems to cast well, but I'd prefer not to comment on it's casting until I can cast with my right hand again. Got it spooled with 12lb CXX for the time being, but I think I'll put some 12 or 15lb Snline Super Fluoro once it's all said and done. It's mounted on my new Cabelas XML (got this summer), and I think it'll probably make a pretty good jig n worm rod. I'll see if I can figure a way to get some pics of the combo for ya guys! Me and Joe were talking over the chat awhile back, and it came up that Joe had an old reel he bid and won over ebay. He said he has no used for it, and hasn't used since he got it. It was organically gonna be a buy now, pay when you can kinda deal. But something must have come over ol Joe, and he ended up giving it to me as a gift... for free! To top it all off, he cleaned and lubed it with rocket fuel before he sent it off. I was absolutely awestruck when I read this last night after I got the reel. I only have one problem now though.. now I have to get a new rod for my BPS rod! Not sure if it should be a slop, or moving bait rod haha! Thanks a bunch bud, really appreciated wucha did for me.. God bless.

You're very welcome Sammy! It was just sitting here collecting dust and I have way more reels than rods. I knew you would make good use of it. I hope it serves you well!

Congrats, Sammy and Hats off to you, JRob! That was mighty noble of you and if I were the betting type, I'd bet he will put it to very good use.

Congrats on the new reel Sammy, and well done Joe. The monkey says everyone wins, since Sammy gets a new reel, and now Joe can buy another one!

Thanks guys, and Keith, I've had that rod a while, it's really nice so far, and I think they upgraded them quite bit from last year! Stuff like what Joe done really makes me proud to be an active member of this forum.
