1st Trout on New Daiwa Sagiri 45MC

I received this rod a few weeks ago and went out to a local tailrace which is stocked in the winter months with trout. Excellent rod for it's length, 4.5 meters, and it weighs less than 2.5 ounces. Handled the trout I was catching with ease and casting a 3.5 level line was just as easy.

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.
