Daiwa Mini System Minispin Ultralight Spinning Reel and Rod Combo

[zippyFX]

Used this quiet a bit this year and it proved to be generally very good. My brother inlaw who is a bass guy and is only uses 6ft medium poles snickered initially but was impressed by the fact that the rodd would load up and cast light weights quite a distance (for it's length). He lost what would have been his first walleye on this because we was a bit timid with the rodd. He was afraid to set the hook to hard and tried to play the fish to lightly.

I also threw it in the luggage for a couple of trips we used. Really good for fishing off the docks and trout ponds and targetting fish in confined spaces.

My one concern was that the reel kept getting bird nests. I was wondering if it was the line so I respooled it with fresh fluro (have been using 4 and 6lb) but that did not help. I tried scaling up the weights I used and that helped marginally. The only thing I could think off was that the reel lip maybe letting the line come off to quickly. Any ideas?

I may have found another reel that fits in the case so I will give that a try.
