Cranky243 74 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 I think the Daiwa Vadel should be considered also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SurfcaztR 707 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 I think people don't realise when it's stated that e.g. maximum line rating 15lb printed on the spool and people load it with 20lb braid which snaps at 30lb.then go fishing for big fish,hook up and use the 10kg drag watching that reel work it's guts out and think what a great reel this is. Then wonder why it didn't last that long wilda 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AquaticResearch1 1,046 Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Went down to Fishing Wholesalers this morning and ended up with the 4000 BG, 5-9kg abu Veritas (which balanced perfectly) and plenty of 20lb braid. My new favourite combo hands down. The customer service was unbelievably good. Best I've ever had by far, would thoroughly recommend fishing Wholesalers to anyone looking to grab some new gear. Not usually one to flog stores but I've not been so impressed with customer service before. Head and shoulders above the rest. Bring it on. Bullet and doobie 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SurfcaztR 707 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Another reel that i use if i'm standing in the surf with lures is the Wilson Surecatch Stallion.I have the 5000 size and it's been a great reel for the money. Steve at "Lets go fishin" Christies beach has them for $70,you should have a look at one at those prices. Very handy being light for long periods holding your gear http://www.wilsonfishing.com/Products/Reels/Sure-Catch-Reels/Sure-Catch-Stallion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
