I am looking for a reel to match the new Baitcasting rod I got. I have never used a bait caster before, so I have been looking at the options and the prices on them. I found one that caught my eye and thats the Shimano Charter Special Casting Reel. It has something called Levelwind and the things I have read don't tel me too much about this feature.
Has anyone used this reel if so is it any good? What exactly is the Levelwind feature for?
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
