In nagpur we do not have any good shop for branded fishing tackle so i decided to make my own spinning rod by making some changes in solid spinning rod available here. It was crocodile 6 footer, i wanted 7 ft so i replaced the upper half section with fibre glass material. reel used is a white rabbit with 30 mm line loaded. till now i don't have much idea of spinning but i am inspired by all the forum mates. thanks to ali bhai who suggested me to do spinning.

see the pic and share ur comment

Great job Manish.
Good effort you put in.
0.30 mono-filament should be around 12 lbs depending on the line quality.
All the best and may you catch lots of fish with this setup.

Hi manishhgin
During old days ( some 10-20 years back) there used to be lot of fishing equipments shops at mominpura square ,now last December whin i visited Nagpur there is only one shop left ( at the corner T junction -road coming from masjid & going towards golibar chowk) selling mostly fishing gears procured from mumbai/calcutta- dam cheap. Have you tried this shop? he do have some equipments as per- in and around Nagpur's requirements. I think he can also arrange, if you give some advance to him. just try this shop.

Looks Nice!

Where do you fish BTW Manish...?
I am also from Ngp but out since 6 years.

Do you get firefox hooks as well???

Do you get firefox hooks as well???

Hi sanjay!!!!!
Yes u r right that these shops are keeping desi items. the only option for gears in nagpur are these shops. well i have managed to make my own requirement as per the availabilty here. i am taking help from the fellow mates here to make my fishing skills better.
thanks a lot

No the shops here are not keeping firefox hooks. we only get maruto hooks which are very reliable and some local made hooks

thanks ravi

hi manish, wanted your view on crocodile rods.

Hi vashi,
I recently had a hands on the crocodile rod in a tackle shop, it was heavier than the other ones.

yes it is and the rod is very stiff that's why i have changed the upper piece with less weighted glass fibre material. now it is working fine and can beat any other branded rod. will post some pictures very soon which i have made recently

all the best
Manish

Sounds interesting sir,
Look forward to seeing the update.
