We back onto the Rakaia at our new place and the season for trout is all year this year so have decided to try my hand at trout fishing, im far too uncoordinated for fly fishing, so spin it is. Got this little setup put together the other week, yet to get it wet.
Shimano backbone elite UL 2-12gm four piece rod (wanted a four piece as easy to carry on bike without breaking it)
Shimano Sedona HD 2500 reel spooled with Shimano 6lb braid, really nice little reel for the money, the drag feels so nice on it. Hopefully spend more and more time getting it wet as the evenings slowly get longer

The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
Salmon?
That’s a bucket list job for me, I’m down south in two weeks time... I wonder...

Half and half

Bit too much gun for this island
My little collection- just moved house so having a sort-out. I'm largely a Shimano bitch, for sea gear anyway.
Most are on this rack
Two 7' rods need their own space
The 24kg popper gear is handy for trips- got good use in the Chathams
