My Rod setup.
Below you will see my current Rod setup I’m using for my Bass Lure fishing.
Apia Foojin’RS Art Magic
My Apia Foojin’RS 90ML+ was supplied to me by Lowen-Chy Angling in St Austell, Cornwall. I did a 2 part review on my rod in the review section, on unboxing and using it.
It is a beautiful rod to use, I am happy I made an investment in a better quality rod, a rod I know I can trust every time I use it.
The Art Magic 90ML-plus is a rod exclusive to AOF – designed by Ben Field, drawing on the knowledge of inspirational Apia rod designer, Ustuki. As a fast-action, powerful yet sensitive bass rod, this 9-footer has a casting weight of 5-36g making it unbelievably versatile.


My Reel setup.
Below you will see my current Reel setup I’m using for my Bass Lure fishing.
Shimano 23 StradicFM 4000XG.
I purchased my Stradic through Veals Mail Order, I have done a review on this one, it is a beautiful reel to use and since I have been using it I have had no issue with wind knots.
STRADIC has made a quantum leap forward with the advanced features of its flagship model.
INFINITYXROSS, which greatly improves gear durability.
Powerful reeling achieved by INFINITYDRIVE for improved “reeling” performance.
ANTITWISTFIN suppresses line trouble and increases casting safety.
DURACROSS with enhanced durability of drag washers supports fighting under severe conditions.
STRADIC rewrites existing performance. As the new standard for SHIMANO spinning reels, this is the one we want to offer to anglers who aspire to a higher level of performance.
