Title: Makaira 50w
Post by: Bunnlevel Sharker on July 29, 2012, 03:34:27 PM
How do these reel hold up? I am getting either one of these or a avet 50w in the next year for LBSF and was wondering if any body had any experience? I was thinking of spooling it with 6ooyds of 130jb and then barpacking the rest with 100lb mono

when you get to this level, they should all be fine.  the advantage of the makaira SE is that it is already serviced the way i would service it and it has a 5 year guarantee.
