alun j. Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Bob, Nice little reels , but Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Sam, Your reel is an out and out caster !! Great for whizzing a bait 150 m. or more from the beach. It's fine for light boat fishing [ up to about 6 or 8 oz. weights ] but as you rewind check the lay of the line, you may need to thumb the line if the spool is full. Alun.

alun j. Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Sam, Try putting it on a beachcaster.......... 12 - 14 ft. 4 or 5 oz weight and even a pendulum cast will zoom out over 100m. Alun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 will try it and let you know. sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 If you want to have a go at the proper casting Sam You had better ask Gary to teach you. he is the one with 200 yard + casting badges If I want to fish that far away I move the boat Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob F Posted April 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Cheers Alun. Thanks for the comments/tips. Not in the market for another reel myself. Just started to thread to point it out. Looks like you've still got some reels to sell off. A terrific buy for someone. cheers BF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
