brenton 637 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 A Silstar crystal tip will match up nicely,around 6-7ft. cheers brenton 4THALOVE 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Booma 1,360 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Mate I have just bought one of this off a fellow Strike HookerIts matched with a Shimano Jewel 6-10kg Baitcast rod and I am currently running 12lb Mono on it.I plan on using it to chase schoolies around the Port and Westlakes (and wherever else I venture) creeky23 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
creeky23 0 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Cheers Booma,That sounds great as i am a shimano boy! hahaSo the reel will take on a fair battle than?eg. snapper, mullys? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Booma 1,360 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I dunno that I'd be chasing 50lbers with it, but I can see no reason why it wouldn't handle Mullies right up to the 1m class........Not a snapper fisherman so can't comment there, but seems like it would be suited to that. The guy I bought it off was running 20lb braid through it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brenton 637 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I like them for rugger snapper,shallow or deep.But will also cast a metal lure for salmon a mile matched with the right rod. cheers brenton creeky23 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
