Such a great video mate! I enjoyed the different stuff with lures and bait and camping whatnot. That basspara rod looks nice too. Bloody unreal how many thumb bars you've been through on that chronarch haha 😅. I've recently treated myself to a 150 bantam, absolute beauty of a reel but probably the most narrow thumb bar I've ever used. Even my sheila type thumb rubs on the edges. Good onya Hodgies great video 👍 🎣
Yeah it’s been a while since we camped hey mate. Have missed it heaps. Those new Rods are really nice and there’s another one I haven’t even fished with yet but looking forward to forward to it. The thumb bars have been on a few different reels but two on that Chronarch. Mind you the reel tech at work reckons they’re being put through hell hey. Fat thanks and lots of fishing. I do like the Bantams mate, but my thumb just won’t fit in the spool hey. 😉👌🏻
@hodgiethebarefootfisherman8393 good onya mate. Yeah I'm missing camping heaps hey, the missus is especially. This bloody weather has been a pain and we're looking forward to the dry season that's for sure. Yeah I'm loving the bantam mate, super smooth and matches the 6'6 12-16lb refraction like dream. But yeah she's got a narrow spool alright but I quickly got used to it. I also put a 100mm handle on it but kept the original knobs (I love the shimano ones).
Yeah mate. 4.5m Bluefin. Still got the apply though hey.😁 it was left to us by my late uncle. That and an old Disco Land Rover. She’s already had a few adventures so just trying to keep his spirit alive hey. 😁👌🏻
