New USA Senators 113N, 113 and 113W. What do you guys think?

Robbr · May 20, 2016, 09:00:09 PM

As a long time fan of the USA built Senators, I'm curious what you guys think about it? 25+ Drag, 4.3:1 retrieve and a hell of a lot of Braid. The price is nice too. I'm in Ft. Lauderdale and want to use it for Grouper and Snapper. I have a 3 day at the end of June and I would like some thoughts on the reels before I buy.

Thanks you crazy kids.

Good choice. I would go with the 113N. Rudy

I know what you mean. The wide holds about 1K of braid. That's going to be pricey.

The 113W is more suited for trolling. To save some money on braid with whichever width you use I would load it with 2/3 braid & the top 1/3 with mono. Except if you are deep dropping for Grouper then I would go with 2/3 mono & 1/3 top shot of braid with a heavy mono leader. JMO

I read it over a couple of beers. I just ordered it. We'll see. I really do like the features of this new 113. It'll be fun to break it in and see what's really under the hood.
