I Did Something Against All My Rules.....

So while I am waiting for Shimano to send me my replacement rod that broke, I had to mount my 50E on something. I use this reel everyday, as it is my around town canal fishing reel, and can toss just about any bait that I would use around here. I spool it with 12# YoZuri, and use a M action rod, so it covers all ends. At first i had it mounted on the Clarus that broke where the reel mount is, then I mounted it on a 6'6 M action Berkley Lightning Shock Rod. It just didnt feel right in my hands. As I was pulling my rods and reels out of the closet to get them ready for Toho next Wednesday, I came upon the Abu Garcia Vendetta rod that I had the Revo SX mounted on. Well, since I had sold the SX, I forgot all about the rod. As much as I told myself that I shouldnt do it, I did. I mounted the 50E on the rod, since it is a 7' M action, and it is a very strong and sturdy rod. Darn it, I am in love with the way that it feels in my hand. The way the bottom of the rod is contoured with the 2 finger split grip under the reel seat, helps to handle the combo very well since its the way I hold my rods. So there is where its going to stay, and the rod that Shimano is replacing is going to be used for my future Chronarch 50E.

The world as we knew it, is crumbling. LMG is coming to his senses. The evolution has begun.
