INDIANANGLER

i just got my new tackle set completed today. the rod is a daiwa beefstick 8 ftr rated 12-30 lbs , reel a shimano hyperloop 6000 from our bopps and am currently running storm 19.8lb test from bopps again.
well my first impression was that i had purchased a broom stick and not a beef stick. the rod looks good and has huge guides. well i set the entire rig up and cast a 16 gm roosta popper around 40-50 mts. the farthest i had cast earlier was around 30 mts using a daiwa 8-14 lb graphite rod. a chugger minnow went even further. nice ! the rod is beefy and has a good spine.
the reel is nice .
well the rod and reel match each other and the combo is a bit heavy but the casting distance i get is really good. have not had a single strike so cant say how the rig will hold up to a fight.
now the lures
1) roosta poppers - well this is my first time using these lures and i really like the finish and casting ability. they pop like hell even when quite a way from the angler and i had a mulley try and hit it. a fast retrieve did not allow me to hook up. am going to try the yo zuri poppers but the roosters seem good at their price point.
2) halco nightwalker- good casts, finish but no strikes. shall have to with hold verdict.
3) hydo slider (yo zuri)- flies well when the bail arm closes prematurely.

am hitting the port again on sunday to try out the tackle in the sea.

50 mtr cast........ not bad at all

the roosta popper- great cast and hooks. the finish has not worn well and has been stripped off by the rocks and the fish.i shall have to repaint them before i hit the sea again.

instead of repainting, get reflective tape in red white and blue colurs and make up your own design.It is pretty rock resistant too...
