My Rod and Reel set up.
Apia Foojin’RS Art Magic 90ML+ Rod.
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 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, I will leave a link to part 1 below, where you can find other links.
It is a beautiful rod to use, I am happy I made a investment in a better quality rod, a rod I know I can trust every time I use it.
Shimano 23 Stradic FM 4000XG.
Brand new standard
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.
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. Clink the link below to read my review.
