I guess its ok for a cheapo. I'll definitely get my new rod and reel set up right when the time comes.:rofl:

    silver tip is on the rod holder. I cant even remember where I got it. I had a Cabelas rod and reel and got rid of it at a yard sale. then we moved to Idaho in 2012 and got this somewhere...I dont know where though. Its a plastic reel so I dont think its worth much but Im going to try it out on the Clearwater river.

    It actually matches the true air pressure exactly. As for fishing results, I have no idea.

    I do know it matches close on how well fishermen feel. With 2 artificial knees, I know I feel better when the air pressure is higher.

    Out of the 3 of us, only one immature pike was landed.

    1st comparison, I'd say it's spot on. I still consider it a novelty. The ability to actually go fishing is more accurate.

    Besides, I go fishing. Catching fish is an entirely different topic. I just want to go fishing. I never say I'm going "catching".

    We tossed, flies, nymphs, crank baits and wax worms and minnows.

    We started with the temps around 30*. 4 hours later the temps were 15*.

    Fishing was pretty tough, but it was still fun.

    Got to get together with a couple of friends that I haven't had to meet up with since the summer last.

    It may have been cold, but I still call it a win.IMG_20180201_125314.jpg
