I had been looking for a new reel for a little while now. I've been talking to a friend about it on and off. I finally found one I wanted and discussed it with him. I told him that I was going to wait until after I got my AC fixed before I did anything. I assumed that was going to cost over a grand to fix. I got to work and he surprised me with the reel I had been looking at. The Abu Garcia Ambassseduer 5600 C4! I told him I wanted to pay him for it but, he insisted it was a gift. He reminded me of the turkey decoys, crow and turkey calls and fish rods I had given him. I humbly accepted. I then spent more money on a rod then I thought I ever would. I bought a St. Croix Premier in a 7'6" medium heavy variety. Boy, they sure look nice paired up together.

I can't wait to take it out. I think I need to invest in some rod/reel sleeves.

I did get Daphne a new set up too. She's a big fan of closed face reels. So I got her a Zebco Bullet. It's really nice. 9 ball bearings and really smooth. 5.1:1 gear ration and brings in 29" of line per handle rotation. It came with a spare spool with line and a neoprene reel cover. She absolutely loves it! www.cabelas.com/shop/en/zebco-bullet-spincast-reel?searchTerm=Zebco%20BulletThen it was time to get a rod to put it on. She checked out several styles (medium, medium/heavy and medium lite, long grips down to pistol grips and from 5'-7' lengths). Zebco's, Shakespeare, Diawa, Shimano.... She ultimately went with the 7' Shimano Sojourn in medium heavy. (I would have bet money she would have gone with the medium Ugly Stick at 6'6"). I thought it was going to be a little too long for her but, she was in the back yard casting like a pro with it. We can't wait to get her on the water and started ripping lips!
