# Fishing Gear

## [Fishing Gear](https://jeepmonkey.com/blog/fishing-gear)

    26th Sep 2008   [Fishing](https://jeepmonkey.com/tag:Fishing#body-wrapper) [Toys](https://jeepmonkey.com/tag:Toys#body-wrapper)  

The last time I went fishing I discovered that I needed to revisit my setup. I had bought a new 12′ rod (Snyder Glas MT144 8W 55 – 115 g) and the reel that I used was a bit undersized. So I have just bought a new reel off ebay for it – Daiwa Emcast Plus 5500, also got some Power Pro 30lb 500yd Braid.

Details here more for a reference to me rather than to tell the world what I have – makes shopping a bit easier.
