Super User Redlinerobert Posted August 10, 2007 Super User Posted August 10, 2007 Congratulations bud - beautiful reel! Quote
Super User islandbass Posted August 10, 2007 Super User Posted August 10, 2007 Congrats on the new reel! There is only one thing wrong with it that I see with the reel in the pic... The handle is on the "wrong" side for me. ;D let us know how it performs for you. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted August 11, 2007 Author Super User Posted August 11, 2007 well guys, i put some 50lb power pro line on it, and thats stuff isnt bad at all. it stays round, and so far i have seen no wear and tear on my rod tip or line guide on the reel. anyway, i finally got a chance to cast it in my yard w/ a plug. it casts so nicely. i can set the breakes so only 2 out of six are on, and i dont even have to thumb the spool and still not get backlash!!! i decided to try and turn one more off, so only one out of six brakes were on, well...i got a minor backlash, but the cast went a looong way. i think i'll stick w/ 2 for a while, and once i get better i may just use 1.
