yep thats me! the fly reel works pretty good and sturdy! even after i went at it with a dremel tool !

[kirisilvermane]

@FishingItUp11 do you cast in the usual "fly" manner then? and you didnt remove the inner eye guides to give a bit more line clearance etc? hows about a video showing us the modification and casting?

[kirbylee96]

YES, finally, the fly fishing reel in action

[kirisilvermane]

@kirbylee96 you will struggle to use that reel with fly line, but as you can see it makes a superb little reel for course fishing!

@kirisilvermane

yeap, some of the many people that had use the fly fishing reel had said that too

[kirisilvermane]

@kirbylee96 i have used it with braid and with standard mono line and it works very well with both. of course what you can do is just buy a cheap full size fly reel and then cut the foot down to fit the pen rod! one of the the other guys doing videos with a pen rod has done that and it seems to work very well!

@kirisilvermane

well, that's something good to know about, it can really help me in the future

@kirisilvermane I jjust got an update from a guy that rigged the fly combo with 0000 float line from Sage & he says he can cast it 30'.

[kirisilvermane]

@FishingNYC cool! would be nice to see a video of that rig in action properly!

[FishingNYC]

That was Suh-Wheet! For a second there I thought you may hook a big bass from under the lilly pads. :)

[kirisilvermane]

@FishingNYC LOL no bass over here buddy! just big carp! that lake doesnt have any monsters in it though :( maybe next video!!
