    Default Pics of long rod and reel combos


    If you folks have any pics of your long rod and reel rigs I'd like to see a few.

    What's the prefered reel type? Spincast-Spinning-Baitcast???

    Thanks

    12 & 14 footers with the uncle buck red reels. Works really well if you don't fish over 16 foot deep. They aren't made to reel in and cast...u just set the depth and lock it.

    I just semi-rebuilt an 81/2 foot fly rod someone gave me. The back part of the handle was busted off so I cut the back of an old rod that I broke @ Caddo lake and Gorilla glued it in. In front of the reel it is cork behind it it is foam, looks kinda redneck, but it works.

    I put an ultra-light spinning reel on it (the same one from the broken Caddo lake rod) and made a few practice casts in the yard, not the best caster, but I hope it will let me reach out to more of the stumps I fish in the Spring.

    Maybe someday I will put regular spinning eyes on it and then it should be a zinger! Or maybe not, I'm just glueing stuff together to see what happens!
    If you have arrived here by accident, I suggest panic!
