Spring is yet to come...


Since I got my tackles ready (picture below), I went to the lake to check how much it works after I replaced some parts of the reel.
When I got one of the sites in Lake Kasumigaura, I found it heavily-windy out there so that I could hardly cast my rod against the gale.

looks good adding a new carbon handle!!
wonderfully completed!!

windy, windy, windy...

I am going to try the reel again on the day when it is not windy.

Waiting for the spring season!!?

A chopped reel???
Speaking of the weather here in Tokyo, we still haven't had spring, still cold, and still hard to get up in the morning even though it has not been that much cold these days.

Since I am not motivated to go fishing due to the weather like this, I just tried to refurbish my reel.


ABU Garcia Revo ELITE bait finesse reel with a bait finesse kid



A normal spool with a blue-color drag knob


A new mag-brake system

Completed!!

I can’t wait to try this new weapon!? Oops!! reel!!
