Thanks

Nice looking reels for sure.. Those drilled slots on the spool remind me of my Z series Saltigas.

 

Anyway bring on the Tuna, sharks n rays!

 

Thanks: did it take 300m of the 90lb you bought? Hope you fellas get that line lay sorted

Yeah whole spool went on. The braid came in an easy spool pack so i couldn't use my regular line spooling device as the holes too big in the easy spool pack. I'm definitely catching a ray or two first to get the line packed on and get a good feel for the reel. Just saw the reports of tuna down Victor hopefully I'll be out within a few weeks for some tuna action.

Still bottom heavy. Used it yesterday on the beach for rays still casts 30-40m on a 6ft 24kg jigging rod

I had the same problem spooled up bottom heavy. I added 1 washer then 2 but it made it even worse it looked like a volcano. Took all 3 washers out respooled and its fairly even now. No problems with the drag clicker though. Stupid thing is the leaflet says to add more washers if its bottom heavy it should be the opposite way.

 

Let us know how you go spooling it up, assuming you are doing it yourself (winding it on).

 

Cheers

I assume you're referring to the difficulty of getting the braid packed onto the reel very tightly. I'll be using the phone book method, basically running the braid through a phone book with an appropriate amount of weight on top. The resistance from the weighted phone book in conjunction with the reel's drag does the job quite well.

How much was the lethal? I'm looking to buy one.

$125

Ended up getting it from the guys on grand junction $129 unfortunately the scenes about an hours drive for me

It was less than half price but only came in 90lb or 115lb its still thinner than my 65lb tufline so I've got the added assurance of 90lb braid without compromising any line capacity plus i like to lock up and feel the real fight in the fish.

Shinobi braid***

How much was the lethal? I'm looking to buy one. Just got a spool of 90lb daiwa samurai. Tossing up what reel but I'm 99% convinced the lethals the one for me.

I tried a bream from West lakes once and it was foul.

 

Also tried a 35cm king George from the lake once too and it was equally as foul.

My kgw have been tasty

I'd rather eat fish or crabs from west lakes than maccas or other processed garbage. As mentioned above crabs are crustaceans and i don't ever recall seeing blue swimmers in the lake during winter time there only in their during the warmer months so their fine to eat. And if people say their not then they shouldn't be eating crabs from the jetty either coz there the exact same thing. Just don't eat the bream its a taste you'll wish you never tried.

This competition is flawed. Clearly I've won it.
