It has arrived! My new Cabelas RLS+ has finally arrived and it was well worth the wait! When I opened it, I was happy to see it wasn't BROKEN so I was off to a good start. 
Right away i put the reel onto the bottom of the rod and checked it out. The reel feels very smooth and it looks very nice. I am very pleased with my purchase! 
I feel like some of the knots are poorly tied so I will be retying those. Also, there is no loop at the end of the line so I will be tying that in as well. I did end up taking it out on thursday afternoon but I will let you all know of the results soon.
I was able to cast it around a bit and it casts like a dream. It casts very smooth. It looks like some high quality machinery. As I said before, I really like Cabelas' work.
Remember, when your wife asks how many fishing rods do you need (and she will ask), the answer is "one more". Nice looking setup.
ReplyDeleteOh she has about my spin rods... She will ask about these as well! and when she does I will say one more!
DeleteLooks very nice. Glad to hear you're happy with your investment. Looking forward to that upcoming report and many more to come.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jay!
DeleteJust wanted to add that both Mark and Jay said it right here! Waiting for a post on how she does on the water.
ReplyDeleteI water tested her the other day. I will report on this soon!
DeleteGet out and get some fishing done! I can't believe I said that.
ReplyDeleteWill do, sir!
