Casting a Charter Special
Submitted by Richard Snellin on Mon, 2011-03-28 20:41
Has anyone on here had any experience in trying to cast a charter special?
i've had a brand new one sitting around for a few years without any use since i sold my boat and i figured i would give it a run down south next week either ballooning or live baiting from the rocks. I'm fairly good at casting overheads and have several Abu's so i'm confident in my technique however i would like to hear of someone elses experiences with these reels.
Cheers Richo

Good luck! Take a video
Good luck! Take a video when you try!!!
Three of us recently all had Shimano Ocea Jiggers and tried casting stickbaits at GT's as we had nothing else in the boat.....................hillarious at best, potential for disaster after the handle turned by itself and locked the spool halfway through the cast..................
Boston Whaler 235 Conquest......getting the flogging it was built for.
