Those were some beautiful catches! Great review of the reel! Your overall setup was clean and effective! I agree with you about the early shift in fishing because of the weather! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks John… this one is really nice! I’m really excited to get out on the kayak soon. The big smallies on the river should be starting to get active! Thanks for tuning in?
Budget is relevant, I own many reels, every time you step up a notch it’s noticeable for sure, my go to is a shimano vandford today, but if I stepped up I’m sure it would be noticeable too , I never knew the pleasure of really nice gear in the hand if you fish a lot, it does add to the enjoyment, most because the smoothness and lack of trouble while fishing, buy as good as you can afford and enjoy
@@AverageDadFishing I will definitely do that, probably in a month or so. With mentor day and opening day the next two weekends I will be busy taking my Ladies son out!

Is the Miravel black oder kind of a dark blue?
It’s more of a dark gray… almost black.
Nice! What line were you using? Was that a ned rig?
I prefer 6lb florocarbon. Yes it was a ned rig.
Nice smallies, Tom!
Thank you my friend! I appreciate you tuning in.
Good reel...gotta say though the Okumas have won my heart
I may have to give one a shot! Thanks for tuning in!
did shimano Miravel bail arm automatically close or by hand manually
It probably does automatically however I never do that with any of my spinning reels. I do it by hand.
Never auto close the bail. Bad habit will lead to some line probs.
SFT is the best!
Absolutely!

Budget reel?. No it isn't.... Its twice as expensive as a budget-reel.😉
Thank you for your perspective
When you have a saltiga or a Stella , this is a budget reel lol. I picked one up to play with a salty ned rig setup and it’s killer.
@@aaronhiggs yeah compared to other Shimano’s it’s a little more affordable and it is a killer reel! I love it! Thanks for tuning in.
