The Tour of Wisconsin is coming...soon!

Less than a month away from the big week long Tour of Wisconsin.  From Freeport up to Monroe west thru Darlington and Mineral Point, North to Dodgeville to Blue Mound State Park, thru Madison to New Glarus and back to Freeport.  The route looks like a big lollipop but its not for suckers.  Its going to be hilly and a epic adventure. 
Final bits of gear to be purchased and training to amp up.
Can't wait!!

UltraLight Baitcaster Set-Up

This is a great set-up for bobber fishing, off a boat or pier.  No way you can cast a lure though, which is a huge downer but at an $8 price point it is a cool option for a certain type of fishing.  I have it strung with 2# mono at 100meters which is a shocking amount of line for this reel.  Next thing to change it that I am going to increase test line to 4 or 6 and much less.  Perfect for my trout -slip bobber set-up.
