I headed down to Beach Road yesterday with the idea of buying a luring rod since I already have a Shimano Cardiff 300 bait caster lying around (send it to Tan Thong Cheong for servicing). I ended up at Joe Tackle and got poisoned with more then a rod. Not that Jude of Joe Tackle is to blame, I’ve been planning on getting a lure setup for sometime. Figured that at least I could head down to the waters after work for some fishing. Altogether, I walked away with an Abu Garcia Revo SXT (lefty) low profile bait casting reel loaded with a 10lb Berkeley braided line, an Abu Garcia 2-piece Conoflo multiplier rod, couple of Rapala lures and some odds and ends. Jude was nice enough to educate me on some of things I needed to look out for. Always ask if you’re not sure, so like a total newbie, Jude was nice enough to share with me some tips. Decided to get a left handed reel this time round as I prefer to cast with my right hand and retrieve with my left. G was none to happy with the amount I spend on. Mixed feelings.
