I posted in the sale thread I was a bit skeptical because I could hardly find any information about this reel. Appreciate the response, I’m looking forward to trying it out ASAP! Quote

kayaking_kev Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 I was going to buy one from that deal, but I found one Wednesday from a guy on this forum for $120, never been used along with a upgraded Tatula 100. My first left handed reels, $200 for both. Quote

I was able to find info on some miscellaneous sites but I had so sign up which was a pain but the feedback I found was great. The righties went on sale back in November so lots of chatter back then. Feedback was that they are super solid reels and better for heavier baits. I thought there was some talk on the tackletour boards also? Quote
suzuki2903 Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 ive used it twice now with a 3/8 oz lure and it did just fine. even though many will disagree, i used it once without ceramic bearings and then installed them and used it after and it did cast the lighter lure easier. so far i love this reel! only thing i would maybe change is the large handle,i believe its 100mm and a 90 or 95mm would fit better in my opinion. 1 Quote

How do you think it will handle bigger stuff 1-4 oz Quote
snake95 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Picked up the 4.9 lefty for crankbaits. Some won't care for the pink components, I think they look great. The biggest downside is the line capacity is fairly low for a cranking reel: about 160 yards for PE2, which equates to 110 yards for 14 lb test. I haven't had line capacity ever be an issue, but hoping to try deep cranking this year and this might not be enough. Quote
