Title: My lastest acquisition
Post by: MFB on June 29, 2015, 04:19:22 AM
I have been after one of these for a while for targeting kingy's on live bait. Got it second hand, but it looks brand new. It's a beast of a reel photo's show size comparison with a Penn 8500SS & a 6500B bait runner. It's going to live on a 15-24kg 7'2" Kilwell Jellytip rod. Roll on summer.

Very very  nice, what are you going to spool it up with? Some platypus low stretch mono might be a good match.

Was thinking 50lb braid, had thought of low stretch mono. Don't see platypus in the shops too often these days, where do you get it from?
