Thread: Short thirty minute trip

With the threat of more thunderstorms today , I wanted to give my second purchase of a KastKing Kestrel SFS reel another chance to prove itself .
I paired it up with a 5’5” Daiwa AJing UL rod and headed to the town pond with a small spinner on the business end of my two pound test Floroclear.
It didn’t take long to catch my first and biggest of the trip bluegill .
I caught five total .
But the Kestrel didn’t stop its bumping at the top and bottom of the spool cycle , so it’ll be headed back .
I’m sitting here trying to decide whether to send the other one back . I’ve lost confidence in them . I don’t want to keep it and it start acting up after my thirty day return window .
It’s a super lightweight and smooth reel .
Too bad the QC isn’t there .
