Shimano 17 Scorpion BFS Reel | Daiwa Minicast Rod | Casts 1/16oz Lure!

First time fishing the Shimano 17 Scorpion BFS Reel mounted on the Daiwa Minicast Rod!

After a backlash on the first cast, followed by several overruns, and then adjusting the spool tension and brakes, able to let it rip and cast in the dark without a backlash.

Liking casting 1/16oz Rooster Tails in the dark without a backlash!

Did not catch a fish but did learn the feel of the rod and reel combo and trained the thumb to cast confidently in the dark.

Next step… catch a fish!

PS. The 5ft rod breaks down into 5 pieces making it easier to β€œstore” in the backpack I take to the day job!
