A while back I asked for suggestions on buying a new rod and reel. Some of you made some great suggestions including The Lew's American Hero reel . Part of that purchase price goes to helping veterans.

My friend Bear, who many of you helped with a donation for a guide(I need to call the guide and work around my new work schedule so we can go soon) surprised me by buying that reel as an early birthday gift. I paired the reel with a Fenwick Eagle rod. I need to get the line on it but I am pumped to try this combo out. I feels great.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
