Moving from San Diego is a long story.
In a nut shell: I was the only English speaking person in my neighborhood. I had a chance to sell my home for a big profit too. Found an Airpark home in Fort Mohave(pilot retired)that was about one fourth the cost of a simular one in California.
Anyway, I never gave fishing a thought after moving until I found out that the river by the Casinos had Trout and Stripers.
Swore I d never own another boat but it was so-o-o easy to sign my name on the dotted line..... I now have a 25' pontoon. We started off by just camping on the boat at Lake Mohave. But I always carry a fishing pole...... We caught Trout and a few small Stripers. I heard that Willow beach was the hot spot. Theres a Trout hatchery there and Stripers are caught in the 60 pound range. I m sure there not too many catches in that range but the lure has me hooked...
I had sold all of my really good fishing gear when in San Diego. Now I needed the better equipment because the WalMart stuff I have will not land a whopper.... So I bought the Roddy 175s. I read the same advertisement that you see here in the posts. The reels look good but I couldnt help notice that the quality was not what I ve known from Penn. Thats how I wound up with these reels (eBay). I love eBay. I have purchased REEL Penn products on the site. Used, but like new. So far I ve purchased a Penn 9, 209 with more on the way.
Man o man, if youve owned Penns you know what I mean....
I should have known better.... about the Penn Roddy at $21... Hummmm?
I guess that some people like the reel. I have absolutely no experience with Roddy but you can look for future reports from me. I will shoot straight......
