Spiel Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 Well I decided it was high time to put a rod longer than 7'6" into my Daughter's arsenal. She does have many options to choose from but any time a rod longer than 7'6" is needed she's had to borrow one of mine. So as a surprise that she'll see this afternoon I built her an NFC HM St 964-2 (9'6" ~ 6-12 line rating), and paired it up with a Shimano Twin Power C3000XG. I'm thinking she'll be quite surprised. 🙂 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrowMan Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 Wow very nice ! Beautiful rod and that reel is top shelf ! Lucky girl to have a Dad like you... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Willis Posted April 6, 2023 Report Share Posted April 6, 2023 Good for you Spiel. That is a very beautiful rod and reel combo it truly is and very practical, I love it. I would be very proud to be standing shoulder to shoulder amongst other anglers with it in my hands. It is so nice to see parents getting there youngsters into fishing. Thanks to old Pappy here my whole family including my Grand children and especially my wife are very much into it. I do not know about these days but back in the 80s fishing was the fastest growing outdoor sport in North America. Sadly in todays society it seems to have died off some what. I am sure your daughter will have many pleasurable hours reeling in lunkers with it. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
