Title: Ready For My 12/0
Post by: Chris Gatorfan on February 20, 2014, 05:42:46 PM
Well Daron here is the reel that I got to match up with that beautiful 12/0 you so graciously let me buy off of you. I think it will make for a beautiful pair.

Is the Gimbal straight on it? My wife bought me one of those for Christmas a while back. I had to heat the gimbal with a torch and turn it straight. Also, Make sure those rollers are free. Two of mine were over tightened. That 12/0 left here Tuesday 2 day priority. You should have it tomorrow. ;)

Yes the Gimbal is straight the rod is beautiful and in perfect working order...The pics didn't do it justice. Even my Fiancee was awed by it...It is a 130-160 class should hold up well.
