After doing a couple of these for a friend, I had to have one. This thing is a beast and has plenty of stopping power I can't wait to try it.I went with the manual pickup conversions pretty cool.

I'm going to fill it with 40# braid with a 6ft 50 pound fluorocarbon leader.this will be my cobia rod and reel.

Alto Mare

That's a workhorse on its own, these will help though. I believe I already mentioned it to you....great reels!

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

and it works good and you can fish with it.   ;D Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Any interest in the original bail less Penn reel...the 706?   I have 2 Penn 706z's with torpedo handles.

Guys buy and sell them all the time at Stripersonline.com where the biggest following for the reels is pretty much. Ebay of course as a last resort.

The reintroduced reels sell at ~$200 but the resale on old ones is in the $50 to $75 range mostly it seems.
