New Gear

Well, that's the rod, reel and line ordered. After a couple of weeks of web browsing and visiting a few angling shops, I decided on the Sonik SK3 9ft 6in. 6/7 rod, Sonik SK3 cassette reel, pre-loaded with Sonik floating, intermediate and sinking lines, all for £149.99.  I chose this outfit mainly for fishing the numerous lochs and stillwaters around my area. The rod, reel and fly line have all had excellent reviews and at that price, was a bargain.
I will post a review of the rod, reel and line in the near future.

Now I need to arrange to have a couple of casting lessons - back on the internet.
