2 years ago I started to fish again after a 55 year layoff, I came from WI and fishing in the desert just turned me off. I have access to private lake in Iowa and stared fishing again. The first reels I had access to were cheap spinning rods, did not enjoy the experience. Last year I bought Zebco pros and got rehooked on the experience. Started fishing seriously again. I got a good spinning reel and a Daiwa Tatula 8.1 bait caster. Wow here I go again, bought a couple of the high end Quantums 6.1 and 7.1 and a Daiwa Zillion 9.1. I am totally rebooked and fishing. Also bought a couple of casting reels from the 50s just for the hell of it, no adjustments just cast and catch very fun. Like the modern equipment but is still fun to fish with the old stuff. The Quantum MG with the lightest Gohst Rod is awesome. The Tatulas are great.
