Title: Hercules GTS80H 30-60 Test
Post by: Newell Nut on July 04, 2017, 09:05:48 PM
Sure had fun testing the New Hercules GTS80H 30-60 powered by my Cortez Newell 338 and the big red snappers are no match for the powerhouse combo. Just built one of our mates a 9 foot Hercules 30-60 and he was loving watching how well my 8 footer was kicking the red snappers today. Hsf a good time with my wife out on the Sea Spirit today. She pulled in a few red snappers on her short Super Seeker rod an one time we pulled in two together. Can't keep the darned things but a lot of fun and good equipment test.

Happy 4th of July everyone.

Sal,

You need to get out more and put a bend in that stick. It is a really fun stick and strong.

Correction in the Cortez Newell. It's Ultimate Upgrade Newell.  Cortez Conversion does not sell such sideplates.

I know Tom does not sell them but that is the name I gave the reel in my spread sheet so I keep track of my stuff. ;D ;D

I will have another when you produce some more. Awesome design by both of you guys. Need a 540 3.2 beast.
