Rare fantail carp caught with the Advantic automatic fly reel

I caught a fantail carp today.  I'm still testing the Advantic reel and so far it is working well.

I used an ultra light 3 weight glass fly rod.  It was fun to be able to play the carp because this

is really technical fishing.  No horsing the fish, just technic.  I consider this to be the best way for me to see what the reel is capable of handling.  So far I'm impressed with this forty dollar fly reel.

Normally, reels like this cost hundreds of dollars.  But finally, there is a semi-automatic reel that 

any fly fisher can buy without selling an arm and a leg to get this reel.
