Abu Garcia reel test and a record perch
by flanker on Oct.01, 2011, under Float rod, Spinning, Tumsupe river
Received my Abu Garcia Orras spinning reel, ordered on eBay yesterday, and was full of expectations to test it real fishing conditions. At noon i was at the river, wasted some time to catch a live bait, and catched a small perch on macaroni, which was real fun, because perch just doesn’t eat macaroni. 
At some time it became not interesting to float. Took my spinning rod with my new spinning reel and moved directly to the pond to watch pikes, hunting fish in the grass i didn’t have a chance to cast in. Next time will try fishing on rings, because the only other fisherman on the pond today (except me) managed to catch a 2.5kg pike on ring.
1 pike (released), 1 perch (400g, 28cm)
