Ale 301 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 similar reels are popping up everywhere with certain shops (even local) sprucing them in the same way as mentioned both here and in Alan's reviews. Pretty funny. The Chinese will get better tho, in some areas they already are, but il save my money atm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great feeling to give for nothing in return. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pramonn 0 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 This reel is build for look a like Saltiga. The internal is not.Their internal is about par which build for fresh water heavy duty.http://www.siamfishing.com/content/view.php?nid=69475&cat=inside This reel introdue to Thailand market for use in fishing "Giant MaeKong Cat Fish", which in general 20-30 kg. of weight.Most user will have some modification/upgrade on drag washer (HT-100) for smoother drag on high pressure.The similar reel but use another name, there are some report on weak drag knob if apply too much pressure.http://www.siamfishing.com/content/view.php?nid=85282&cat=insideFor thier look and price this reel is nice to have, but dont expect too much for their internal.

Just Me 0 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 hahaha Was having a laugh reading the threads on 360Tuna and a kiwi forum by some knob called Pierce a while back Tuff Tackles "#1 fan". What ever happened to that lying douche bag Simon Ball? The websites gone and all.Same modus operandi as Canyon "Made in the USA NJ" and same sales/misinfo/disinfo marketing methodology. Black Marlin reels haha. All Chinese OEM.Do the OEM suppliers hand out "How to" marketing packs when you order their crap?Tuff Tackle got banned from various forums like Ausfish etc and got a giggle reading a stoush or two with Alan Hawk.I feel sorry for the folks who got sucked in and paid full tote odds on these junk reels.Barbz, any update?
