By John Deo


Salmon fishing is very nearly an obsession for me . There's nothing I like more than packing up my fishing tackle and heading out to my favourite stream . Then, standing in the cold, clear water, I make cast after cast until -- a strike ! Thus, the battle begins . Whilst not of epic proportions, a battle, nonetheless . To be fully ready for the fight, I try to keep my gear in top shape . I'm on quite a tight budget, so my collection of rods and reels isn't as large as I'd like it to be . I always try to buy the best I can afford . Failing that, I stay with well-known and respected brands . One brand that I particularly favour is Abu Garcia . Here's some information about a well-priced reel from Abu Garcia: the Ambassadeur 7000i Salmon Special .
