Fin Nor LT 100 rated well by Alan Hawk. Ok, its a spinner.

[Cone]

Welcome, Alan! You have more than a few here that follow your reviews. I love my spinners. I just wish I could afford the cream of the crop. The Fin Nor Lethal 100 is within my means. I will buy one soon and see how it does.
    Thanks for the unbiased reviews. Hang around maybe Alan T. can convince you to buy a sweepfire.

Alan Hawk, what a treat. I hope you'll visit more often.
Thanks for stopping by, Sal

and thanks for mentioning the torque

Maybe someday you'll consider a review or 2 of some top-rated conventionals as well?  I would love to hear your thoughts on the Penn.

and...?  PRC can manufactured some high end stuffs too. (Ahem Apple products)  This is the case of maybe the company is committed to higher quality reel at a cost to profitability.  Just maybe we should applaud the company for doing something right instead of broad brushing it..?

Is Apple considered high end or quality?  Their pods and phones have no consumer removable batteries forcing entire item replacement when the battery dies.  Recharge must be through computer drive where it sits waiting for a virus or worse wont charge anytime the system sleeps.  Oh yeah quality today means disposable, consumer unfriendly. We must embrace our obligation to consume.

I doubt that Alan Hawk would ever do a review on conventionals, I asked him that same question about a year ago and he said that Alan Tani petty much had that covered, and he was right

[Alan_Hawk]

You've got that right Sal. I wouldn't dare step into Mr. Tani's turf. Last guy who tried that disappeared and only his left ear was found 3 years later 

Thanks all for the warm welcome and kind words, and I will sure be frequenting this board since the quality of threads and posters here is truly outstanding 

Tight lines.

Welcome to the board, and big thanks for all the reviews.  Whether or not a particular reel interests me, I still have learned a ton about what makes a reel good or bad, strong or weak, etc. 

[alantani]

finally, someone that actually likes spinners, welcome, alan hawk!!!!!   

[coonhound]

I think you all should come up with a fishing reel manufacturers version of the Shark Tank.  A panel of the Alan's, John, Alto, and Bryan review proposals from Penn, Daiwa, Shimano, Quantum, etc.  They all may leave crying and offended, but eventually they might put together a solid reel top to bottom.  I'd pay money to see Alan Hawk tell Dave Pfeiffer their claims on the side of the box are "rubbish." 

[erikpowell]

John,

What you are saying is true but at $100 and change, I am willing to be an early adopter on this reel only because my guts tell me that the quality will cheapen over time if the accountants have their way.  I am hoping to be wrong this time and the engineers win out on the Lethal 100 series.

x 2  ..... Max and I will give them a test run for you guys. Mine will be here in 2 weeks. I've already had great success with the Offshore series so I'm really looking forward to fishing these two side by side so I can compare.... $135.. I could eat that value in fish alone the first week I own it.

  Welcome and thank you Alan Hawk... It's a preasure and a Plivlidge you dropped in on us 
Hope to see you more often...
And Thank you for taking another look into the Finnors!

[maxpowers]

I will be using it on May 17th on bottom critters and maybe some free swimming Yellowtails if we come across any kelp paddies.  Then wake up on May 18th at the Coronados to test them against some home guard and pelagic Yellowtails.

[wallacewt]

this is a damn good subject.$100 worth of fun.
im like alan t  i dont like spinners or star drags(me)
i may build a bent butt rail rod for the {"lethal"(i like the name)
large live bait,25lb drag or more,  and turn the "lethal" into a
"limp"
life is good,cheers

Well, received the spinner yesterday. As I am still in NY and the wife and dauchter had other plans than taking reels apart it has to wait until return to home and when the maddnes of day to day live will allow me.

Thanks Mr Hawk for chiming in. It is much appreciated.

What I saw is OK, considered I will busing the reel a couple of days a year
