Wow! Where was this?
Colorado. The fish was 6" from back to belly and was a real fighter.
That lightweight pole (4.5 ft) really bent while I worked the fish in but was awesome. Felt like I was Captain Quint battling Jaws.
You can check out the Daiwa MiniSpin here:

Thanks for the update. Truly impressive. It's what all of us backcountry fisherfolk dream of. That ought to buy another 10 years of hope and wishful thinking :)

I should point out that I learned about the Daiwa MiniSpin from BPL member Richard Nisley.
