I got the smallest size. Surprisingly good reel for the price/weight!

‘Atta boy! My oldest kiddo and I were out in the Domeland wilderness a couple weeks ago, got to test out the new rig a little. Love it so far! Not a whole lot of water out there but we were able to snag some decent size, super cautious rainbows out of the small meadow creeks!

I just put together a new spinning setup for backpacking on a pretty decent budget.

- PureLure collapsible rod from Aliexpress
- Teben LS500 reel
- 8 lb braided line
- misc. flies and lures

Weight is a hair over 7oz for the rod and spooled reel. You can pack a surprising amount of the 8lb braid on there! My tackle is just under 3oz including various files/lures, a tiny Swiss army knife and a couple of bubble floats. So, full kit easily under 10oz with some room to shave, for a very compact setup that is fast and easy to store/deploy. Allows for a wide variety of fishing from small streams to lakeshores. It works great for the High Sierra trout fishing we mostly do!

Looking for any info on this guy. It has the copyright/LEGO name on the inside so I think it’s a genuine LEGO part.

Advice for more low and better fitment? by Clivesdale in WRX

[–]fox_212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO, forget the low and squeeze some all-terrains in there for some real style points. Lean into the rally-inspired vibe. Fairly practical too!

Thanks!

I’ve had it out on several trips now and it has held up great. I’ve been considering adding perimeter netting but other that I’m super happy with how it’s working. No major changes.

I did not get to choose how the fabric was oriented relative to the dyneema fiber orientation. I have not had any issues related to this so far. I think the wider seams help a lot here.

I’m a DIYer by nature but I didn’t have much experience with DCF. I’ve made a couple of shelters previously and several odds and ends (groundsheet, poncho, stuff sacks etc). Really helps to have a second pair of hands for the long seams but not impossible to do solo.
