Yes, I know its made in China. I have bought some roller rods from this same person and I like them.
It comes with a two year warranty, no questions asked. They Claim to have it made to their specifications and I think it can be had for about $300. Its a 50 wide 2 speed.
I thought it would be a challenge to get one and try to Blow it up!

I would love to see this reel opened up to see how well (or not) is designed and built.

I have decided not to persue this. I spent 1200 on an Everol 14 instead.

SH, you don't cast that everol from the beach do you? ???
Title: Re: What kind of reel is this?
Post by: Shark Hunter on November 05, 2013, 02:25:16 AM
I drop my bait it in the Kayak and paddle it out 100 yards. If you want to call that casting. :P
That's how most land based shark fishing is done.

I think straight 275 coated cable should be good
