In February 1953 she caught a record striped marlin and was awarded trophies by the Mercury Bay Game Fishing Club of Whitianga, New Zealand for 'Heaviest Striped Marlin of Season' and 'Heaviest Striped Marlin, Lady Angler'

On most lure rods I would use or test I am fine with the bit of extra weight to the Slammer IV 2500, and of course I like the robust nature of the reel and I dont remotely obsess about ultra-smoothness when I am actually out fishing But I do enjoy trying out and fishing with other spinning reels, and I do think that some lure rods benefit from a lighter reel strapped to them (a review of a rod like this is coming soon)

Some are concerned about the joints breaking or coming loose and collapsing while fishing, but it has never happened to me

*see our single-hook options Specs: Length- 2 1/2in Weight- 1/8oz Suspending Max Dive Depth- 2-2.5ft Brook Trout- This pattern has a fantastic "earthy" look that appeals to ALL fish we targeted

For another compact option, this fishing kit insert keeps hooks, lures, weights, and a stringer in one place
