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!

[@AverageDadFishing]

Thanks, I am super impressed with that reel! Let’s see if the shift actually occurs. Thanks for tuning in.

Good stuff brother! Always exciting to get and share a new toy.

[@AverageDadFishing]

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?

[@FitnessOutdoors]

Pretty spot! Nice catches 😊

[@AverageDadFishing]

Thank you so much! I just wanted to get out and bend the rod… thanks for tuning in!

[@troutowl]

Nice fish and video. I never did much bass fishing but want to give it a try soon.

[@AverageDadFishing]

Hit me up man, you can come out with me! Thanks for tuning in!

[@troutowl]

@@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!

[@MeTimeFishing]

Nice smallies, Tom!

[@AverageDadFishing]

Thank you my friend! I appreciate you tuning in.

Good reel...gotta say though the Okumas have won my heart

[@AverageDadFishing]

I may have to give one a shot! Thanks for tuning in!

[@braaap690]

Nice! What line were you using? Was that a ned rig?

[@AverageDadFishing]

I prefer 6lb florocarbon. Yes it was a ned rig.

Is the Miravel black oder kind of a dark blue?

[@AverageDadFishing]

It’s more of a dark gray… almost black.

[@WOLFRENO007]

did shimano Miravel bail arm automatically close or by hand manually

[@AverageDadFishing]

It probably does automatically however I never do that with any of my spinning reels. I do it by hand.

Absolutely!

[@snotfjs]

Budget reel?. No it isn't.... Its twice as expensive as a budget-reel.😉

[@AverageDadFishing]

Thank you for your perspective

[@aaronhiggs]

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.

[@AverageDadFishing]

@@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.
