Bernie Mac Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Just to let everyone know I came back from Iraq on Friday (08 May, and my sons BDay too)...had fun reunioning with the fam and all. Relaxed all weekend and strung up two new reels (Quantum Code Red w/ 40lb PP [left over from what my Dad sent me] and Quantum Code with 14lb SW XXXMono). Both are 6.3:1. I put the Code on a GLoomis MagBass 844 IMX and I'm putting the Code Red on a Berkley Lighting Shock 6.5' (I know, one side of the spectrum to the other but it goes with my earlier post bout sensitivity plus I just have to try one out and Herb Philipson has them for $40 bucks). There's a local fishing derby on Saturday that I'm gonna take daughters too and I'll put a couple of threads on how the combos worked out. I'll say this about the Code on the Loomis....playin around with it while waiting for the kids to get off the bus....reel cast smooth with very lil to no noise at all. Now just need to put them in the water and catch some fish. P.S. To all those that are still serving over seas in our War on Terrorism...stay safe and come home soon. Quote
