Just bought a new fishing reel to go with the new shimano 30-50lb rod (I thought shimano just made the gears for my bike!) I found in the lazarette during the winter. For anyone that knows anything about these things (I’ll happily admit I don’t!) it’s a Penn 345 GTI and it’s pretty gnarly! I’ve put 250meters of 30lb mono filament nylon attached to a 250lb swivel, a 1 meter wire leader with a “jet head” squid style lure and hook at the end. So I think I’m on the right track after reading “fishing for dummies” and with my knots and equipment to catch some tuna or sword fish, here’s hoping, I’ll let you know how I get on!
Hopefully more of this: last seasons only fish (a tuna)!
