Spoiled myself

[taper]

Headed to my local tackle shop on Saturday to look at a rod and reel for Pike. Originally I was looking for a round style bait caster but after talking to the owner and telling him what I wanted it for ( 95% casting) he recommended a low profile version. I made a final decision on the Quantum Accurist 501PT left hander.Then off to the rod rack where I finally decided on a Quantum PT 6 foot 10 inch heavy action 1 piece rod. As you can see I was impressed by the Quantum line up. After making those decisions I got to browsing and remembered a couple weeks earlier I had bought a new Quantum PT 6 foot med/ heavy 1 piece for jerk baits and was undecided about buying a new reel to go with it or using one of my old reels. Well the urge over took me and I picked up a Shimano Solstice 1000RH. I was looking really hard at the new Quantum PT spinning reels with the holographic looking metal finish but they don't sell a rear drag model in North America ( i was told you can get them in Europe ). I had a chance to try them all out on Sunday down at Long Point and was very impressed so far. Just don't tell my wife what they cost she'll kill me.

Good stuff, every now and again we have to spoil ourselves, it's good for the soul...besides if we don't do it, no one else will

It's good to spoil yourself. Looks like some nice gear. Those new Soltace's are really nice.

You'll love the PT501. I've been using one for about 4 years now. SMOOTH.

I used it a bit on Sunday and the thing I liked the most was not one birds nest. Since this is my first bait caster the dealer gave me a quick lesson in the parking lot and everything went very well for the first trip.
