One for my Daughter


Spiel

Recommended Posts

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.  🙂

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.

Thank you Barry. She's not a young'n these days as she'll be 30 this year. She is however the only one of my 3 who still loves to go fishing, so ya.....I spoil her.

If you like Spiel I can set up you up with some good Drum way points she may want to brake the rod in👍😂

There's never been any doubt in my mind Pal. When it comes to Sheephead you Sir are without peers.  ;) 😄
