Welcome to The Angler Issue 72. When it comes to fishing there are a lot of other things other than rods, reels, lines, hooks, sinkers, floats, etc. There are also tools, accessories, etc. In this issue we look at some of the waterproof bags by Abu Garcia which just got into our markets, a multi tool plier also by Abu Garcia, and lots more. We also take a look at the evolution of fishing starting with pole fishing, get a better understanding of bearings, and read about an angler’s experience fishing in Cheow Lan Dam in Thailand.
In this issue we took the Abu Garcia Revo X-Inshore low profile bait casting reel and the Penn Spinfisher VI SSVI4500 to the “ring” and have them challenge the gladiators. How did they do. Click below to find. There are lots more.
Abu Garcia Revo X-Inshore is a reel for saltwater inshore fishing. Made for fishing in such conditions, it can take on both fishes and the salty conditions. We took it and battled the Amazonian.
Made for taking on big saltwater fishes the Penn Spinfisher VI SSVI4500 certainly had no issues taking on the hard fighting fishes here at the Natural Exotic Sports Fishing Pond. But how well did it do?
