I just acquired a BM 3600 & installed new bearings I already had 3x10x4 per tincanary's
Instructions.I mounted it on a 5' IM6
Fin Commander rod I had lying around.I got 4# mono on it throwing 1/16 jigs pretty good.I think a longer rod with more flex I could get on out there 100+ feet.
We got the grandkids for spring break
& their parents are coming tonight.
I got 100 minnows tonight we are crappie fishing & they want to do marshmallows on the firepit :fish 76 degrees here
I moved the 3600 to a 6.5' shimano catalina rod its m/h but I can get out there more better.
Need more flex though too stiff.
I have that reel too! Price on the box says $49.99. I was given it, I don't know how old it is.
James, fishing with the grandkids and roasting marshmallows sounds like paradise. Enjoy it!
Thanks 3600 Black Max sounds like a great Ambassadeur for casting lighter lures.
