New Bream Rig

With the perch season ending for me, I move on to the breeems. From the Cabelas Bargain Cave:
Shimano Scimitar 5' 6" UL $19.88
Mitchell Avocet II S500UL (different size shown) $24.99
The reel is almost the perfect size. Could be a little smaller, but those are hard to find.
The rod is whippy as crap. The large bluegill should be fun on this.

is that the one you are going to put NanoFil on?

What do those normally go for? Looks like you got a good deal though!

I went ahead and put it on one of my crappie poles. Just a slightly larger version of the above. It fished very well. Casting was amazing. No misses from slack. No twist issues. Only problem was, and this may all be in my head, the jig under cork seemed to fall slower. It made the tripples tall not really swim. The bite was poor, and I am probably placing blame where it does not belong.
I'll put 4lb mono on this one.

Have fun with it, I'll stick with my zebco 33 for perching

I've been using a Browning SuperLight and I'm happy with it....had a BPS MicroLite Elite but I dropped it in the river... Going to pick another one of them up next time I'm at BPS

I grew up on pencil sharpeners. I have no idea how anyone chooses to use them once over 12. TEHO, YMMV

What made you change your mind? I've never perch fished with a spinning reel, it's always been with a 33
Posted on 5/21/12 at 6:22 pm to KingRanch
those fricking pieces of shite won't cast more that 5 ft half the time....they are cheap as shite so I know I shouldn't expect a whole lot
Posted on 5/21/12 at 6:24 pm to Tino
When you tear them down and see how they are built, it's amazing they even work at all.
My dad would use them until the line cut a groove in the line pickup. he would then box it up and send back to Zebco with no note or anything. magically, a new one showed up about 2 weeks later.

I've had the same one since I was literally 10 yrs old, it works like a champ
Posted on 5/21/12 at 6:28 pm to KingRanch
I had one with me friday that I've had forever and one that I got a couple years ago....both pieces of shite

What would you recommend for a spinning set up then? I may try it out.
Posted on 5/21/12 at 6:30 pm to Tino
Great catfish reels.

I'm talking about ultralights....not 33's....never used a 33 before
King, this is what I'm currently using Browning Superlight
I had one of these but lost it...getting another one soon....great reel/rod MicroLite Elite

I like that rod. The handle on my falcon UL is too short for my liking.
Posted on 5/21/12 at 6:42 pm to Tino
Preciate it, for $50 I'll try one out
Posted on 5/21/12 at 6:43 pm to KingRanch
