I decided to give myself a Christmas present this year.
Since my outing with Ah Fong, I've come to realize my tackle for kayak fishing wasn't cutting it for boat charter fishing. Since that trip, I've gone on a few other boat charters using my old Shimano Slade 4000 reel that was bought long time ago. This reel is rather large and I thought I would prefer a smaller sized reel.
Since I've been using the Shimano Saros 1000F for some time now for kayak fishing, I thought I might as well get the larger version. So I purchased online a 2500 sized Saros for boat charter fishing. I think it is light enough and would not be so tiring fishing with it the whole day.
