Title: Field testing again.
Post by: gstours on April 10, 2023, 11:14:52 PM
Here,s a short clip of a very calm weather morning we had recently.  I had gotten an Accurate 870 and modified a crank arm with a big grip to pair with a Penn 5.5ft hvy Rampage rod and so the timing was good to fish with a friend as a walk on.    Here,s some footage of the day.  The rod is a pretty good value, for the money, with pretty good componants.
 As for the reel, I didnt care for it for what my joe average days are.  The high gearing makes for harder than needed cranking, the shifting was good,  the drag lever needs some ratcheting to assure more confidence butt thats just me.  I got it for jigging and tryed it.    We cought some fish, tried some stuff, and filmed  the highlights just for you. ;)

Tanks Dave.  Some days are not so nice weather wise.  We do get that occasional break that prompts action.
  As a boat owner you know,  good luck with all you folks,   summer is coming,   :d
