Cool 9' 3# goes tubing

Hi Guys

Took my Vision Cult 9' 3# tubing for the first time today and caught my first fish on it a 15" wild brownie followed by another of 14" such a smooth rod. 12' leader size 10 zulu (dropper) but it was my size 10 "lite" damsel that did the trick

First fish took off into the air and looked like a bar of gold in the sun, breath taking ! Infact it saved its life both were photographed and released.

Very nice E, I also christened my new Vision Cult today, a 7.6ft #3.
What a gem of a rod, superb finish and casts a dream, matched up with a BBS1 so light it was like a magic wand.
Two casts and two wildies, 100% on its first outing, it'll do for me.

Hi Guys

Caught it in the water ................ You need to get into tubing mate i was getting these from in front of a large boggy reed bed that bank anglers just cant get to also in the tube you can sit off the reeds static without driftting on like boat anglers.

The "feel" in this rod is amazing ! Its sooooooooo smoooooooth it flexes right into the handle, which isnt bulky, ive have wee hands i.e short stumpy fingers i find most handles "too wide" not this one its just right probably looks bulky because the blank is so thin !

Congrats on breaking in your 7'6" 3# im been thinking about getting one too, i went large abour on my rod as my wee Greys g series just looked silly on the 9' rod.

Oh photo taken on my Sony 8mp camera phone
