The Bream Reaper 103 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Got this in the mail today, luckily ordered just before the Aussie dollar dropped below parity again.Gonna set her up with a nice 3 weight rod to use in battle against the finicky trout that live down the end of my street. These fish love to laugh at my hard and soft lure offerings whilst they casually sip bugs off the surface near my feet..... Hopefully a tiny dry or nymph will do the trick. Limited edition brown trout Ross Evolution LT SE.... Can't wait to try it out. :woohoo: :woohoo: Ugly4Life, reelin and Rollas 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ha ha ha. Gotta ditch the P.O.S. line and get something decent for it too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Dazz[/quote''] The line is a no-name generic one that feels worse than the one that came with my wife's $10 reel :-) I have already ordered that exact line through eBay :-) however the rod is a few weeks away- prob going to be my present to myself to make me feel better after I have seen how much the tax man has bled from me this FY.
