I got a 13 Fishing Defy Swimbait rod and a 13 Fishing HUGE reel lol. one of those concept reels. But after a few trips, i have officially retired large baits. My shoulder can't handle it >_<
it's just collecting dust in my garage at the moment. and also one of my sponsors said don't use their stuff.. so yeah... I tried a bit more last year after i plastidipped the name to cover it up and still... shoulders prefer not to cast it!
Perhaps i need a more expensive rod that is much more lighter? who knows.. not my cup of tea.
I throw the opposite spectrum.. the smallest bait i can on a bait caster lol. (So far that is a trout magnet btw)
