A 5-foot-6-inch rod will allow you to fish tiny creeks with overhanging trees, for example, while an 8-footer will allow you to make longer casts and cover more water in larger rivers and lakes

A reel with 11 cheap bearings can feel rougher than one with 7 good ones
I really thought the bush game would be a lot stronger
even working the lever of the saltist, the reel feels "tinny." a while back, i went over to my local tackle shop and pulled out four similar sized lever drag reels, an accurate, an avet, a talica and a saltist
max drag, and an externally adjustable Multi-Setting Brake (MSB) dual cast control
