Tyrnos 30 even to bulky to cast wouldn't even attempt it with a 50.

Just looking at that reel I would have more pressure on when winding that braid on, gotta get a good solid lay in that spool,otherwise its going cause a few probs down the track....
sweet looking reel though

Sabre eg 140 3-5kg blank glass very tippy but plenty of bottom end stick when you need it. Been proven for many years and not overly pricey suits a 2500 to 3000 size reel, just my two bobs worth.
Best of luck with the replacement SF.

Yep use a lumo or two bead above the hook in the body if you want a surface type lure or a ball/barrel if you want to get down a bi,t the single hook I have always spaced back so its about 20mm or so in the skirt, same as tuna set back cos they will be hitting from behind. hope that helps you out

Just to update to all new bearings for 6500 $38.00, that's if you haven't got a bent screw or a seized screw and need to replace bail cam arm and bail wire, just for the parts your at $125 thanks for the understanding fellas and the tight lines to all who want to get stretched

Im not taking anything away from these reels Im just saying that if they want to improve them there is always areas that need to looked at when you pay top dollar for a reel you expect they can deliver what they claim. I have three saltigas two spin and one o/h because I wanted to buy reels that would last, just want any future purchasers to be aware of these issues , and for the fact I have not bothered with upgrading the drag washers because I don't thing the reel body in particular the foot will handle it will handle anymore than 30 kg of stress put thru it. Just my two cents worth

Its unfortunate that the manufacturers of these reels mentioned above wont improve the bail roller issues by going away from bearings and using bronze bushes, as there isn't a bearing strong enough in design to cater for the stresses involved in using 80lb braid and fishing the reel to its capabilities, I have a Saltiga 6500 exp and its getting patched up again. for a reel of that price tag I thought I was getting something that was rock solid but alas I was wrong its now on its third set at 4 yrs old. We need someone to keep these guys honest congrats to Alan H
