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

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.
