It's here!!

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. 

Well anyway, the family is officially up to two! I don't have a name for this new combo but I will come up with something soon. I hope you guys enjoy these pictures as much as I do!

  1. Remember, when your wife asks how many fishing rods do you need (and she will ask), the answer is "one more". Nice looking setup.
