Hello everyone,just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Richard, been fishing all my life since I could remember. Love my old man for showing me the sport. I just got into fishing bass. I've used a spinning reel all my life. Till about a couple weeks ago. I got a casting rod for my birthday. And recently bought my first casting reel. Its been rough learning how to use it but I'm getting there lol. Here is a pic of my baby. Phenix Maxim 7'3" MH I love this rod!
I did my research on what reel to get and went with the Lews LFS. I'm having a hard time with the reel being right handed. So used to spinning reels and reeling in with my left hand. Well not really a hard time just can't get use to it.. To the point where I want a new left handed reel lol. Still having trouble with birdsnest too. Any tips are appreciated. Hope to learn as much as possible and share as much as I can with my experiences so I can become a better bass fisherman. I'm so addicted to it!!! Thanks for looking!
