In typical fashion, the anticipation in the build up to the trip was long and torturous. Fortunately, the gear was one thing I didn’t need to worry about as it was all taken care of by Dave. Being a well travelled tropical angler he had everything we’d need already. Popping rods, fly rods, jigging rods, Shimano Stella reels and all manner of end gear and lures imaginable.
Reels were filled with fresh braid and fly lines, split rings and hooks were upgraded, all the gear was checked over with a careful eye. Nothing can be left to chance on these trips..
