N.SAMO / Finally Got It

[fishshep]

Feet hit the sand about 6am. to a mid- 2.0 tide level with clear

waters, Med. Micro-Weed with no current or surge/ wave problems

this time . Yet, no real troughs, holes, etc. to really work off of, that

might have given a better catch ratio, but sun was out and birds were

diving here and there, and did manage a bunch of mediums, not all

pictured. Best part of the day was the knock on my apartment door !!!!

FINALLY http://www.scsurffishing.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif "Shimano " sent me back a new "Clarus" 8.6 rod. Last time

it only took a week, this time almost two weeks, because I guess

sometimes (the Rep. said, "they get mis-placed". But after I called,

he said, "I will send you another one right away " http://www.scsurffishing.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif Just got it 5pm.

this one is an upgrade from a IM-7 to an IM-8 http://www.scsurffishing.com/forums/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif

Nice lips on that perch daniel! Gotta love shimano customer service even if they sometimes misplace things! They came through and you got an upgrade. The difference between im7 and 8 is like night and day.

Good thing about IM8, more tip sensitivity...bad thing, more brittle...at least from what I've read. Hopefully this one stays intact for you. On my third spinner myself. At least we have that Shimano warranty in our pocket. Looking forward to hearing about your next field test.:Wink:

I love my Clarus" 8.6 but I found that the Seeker 8' React Pro is much better at tossing my LCs. Well at least if I remember right, its been so long since I'll even fished. :Crying:
Good luck and have fun.
