and it was GREAT!!! For my 5th...yes I said FIFTH...wedding anniversary this year, I asked my fisherhubby to get me another Shimano Cardiff 200A Fishing Reel. I love these reels. They are amazingly smooth and very easy to use. PLUS - they are very manageable and maneuverable for my tiny little fingers. I have nothing but fabulous things to say about them. Obviously, I love them, because I asked for one for a BIG anniversary. I was very disappointed when I arrived at Cabelas and found out they did not have my present in stock. They should have known I was coming, right? However, the sales guy was impressed with the fact I knew anything about fishing and waived the shipping price just for me. Therefore, next week I will have a brand new and very shiny Shimano Cardiff arriving at my door. YAY!!!!
Also while I was there, I bought some new Trilene Vanish which has the slogan of being the easy casting Fluorocarbon Line. I have been wanting to try some new types of line. I like Trilene and was happy to see that this type of line was available from a trusted and well known company.
I, of course, wanted to grab a few more orange hammers while I was there, but, unfortunately, they only had 2 in stock. I guess maybe they are catching on ;) I also bought a couple red and white Cabelas Canadian Casting Spoons. I cannot go to Cabelas without purchasing new lures...it just is not possible.
I always have a good time at Cabelas. I checked the Pink Ugly Stiks just in case something had changed in the last day...but NO!! Still none of the ones that I use. I almost broke down and bought the 6'0 one, but I just could not bring myself to give in. I will just have to wait...and hope.
I hope you all had as great a day as I did today. A trip to your favorite store is always a great way to spend the day.
Happy Shopping ~

Lizzy,
ReplyDeleteAnother interesting post! Good luck with your soon to be new reel! I am sure it will reward you with numerous catches! Just love your writing style and fantastic pics, keep up the good work! Your link has been added to my blog roll!
Afternoon Lizzy. Hope you find your pink Ugly Stik. I wouldn't use anything else. As for Fluorocarbon line, I have 6 lb and it works great. I also have 4 lb and it constantly unravels. It's on the reel right so I can only think it's the line. Yeh, it's Trilene.

Hmmmm...thats troubling to hear Shoreman ~ I have always had great luck with my regular old Trilene line and was a little shy to switch to something else even if it is by the same company. I might give it a go on one of my back-up reels and leave my trusty Trilene on my Primary ones...Thanks for the info ~ I will definately keep my eye on the new line now!!
