Somerset Saltwater expo

[SaltLife1980]

Spent to much money again but got some great goodies! Few jigs, plugs, lots of tackle, new cutters, new fillet knife, gulp, and new Rod and Reel..

Got a New Shimano TMS-F70H Teramar Inshore Southeast Spinning Rod... 7 foot, heavy power, medium fast action, 15-30#.. Love the fact that there is 8 guides.. Fuji reel seat.. Paired with a new Shimano 4000 Baitrunner.. Loaded it up with 40# Power Pro last night.. I am in love with this set up.. The rod is beautiful and a crazy color.. Seems to change color in the sun and has some great back bone.. And the medium fast action seems feels very like its going to feel great on the bite and hook set.. This is my first salt water Shimano rod and so far i am VERY happy! The reel feels great.. The baitrunner clicks on and off like butter and the drag feels great.. Holds a good amount of line.. I put on a few yards of backing then piled on 150 yards of 40# power pro.. Which is more then enough... I was going to get the 5000 but i like the feel of the smaller reel in my hand plus i dont do much surf fishing so it will be mostly used on the boat so the 4000 holds more then enough line for my needs.. Amazing prices as well.. Got the show price on both and it saved me a good amount of cash! Which is always good!



All and All it was a good show with lots of great deals and tons of fellow anglers to chat with...


Saw a few people who had fished with us last season! I hope to see you guys back this year!
