Anyone got one of these or heard anything about them, they look the goods!

Awesome piece of gear!

They work and feel better than they look.

yeah, everything they say is true but hard to find a rod that can cast+jig+troll+livebait and take 8 or 10 kegs of drag.

a 16 will take 300m of 50 pound braid with a little backing.

probably a bit fast for some uses but the power is unbelievable

no where to put a safety though???

My 7' Reef Ripper blanks are great for all those tasks. Check them out. They are quite good value as well

You mean they give you different cam sizes with the reel?

Thats pretty unreal.

Thats pretty unreal.

You get one cam with the reel and can purchase the others seperately I think there are 8 all up.

[Guest Big-Banana]

Iam guessing theyd be pretty pricey. I know what my next reel is!

If the speeds a worry you simply change the cam drives in the side 2min job!

doesnt the cam change the curve of the drag??

how does it change the retreive speed?

the LRS (standard) cam gives me 5kilo at strike and 7.5 at full from memory

all the cam drag curves are in the paperwork that comes with it.

extra cams cost extra, not sure of the price????

what does the cam have to do with retrieve speed, do you mean they come with an extra set of gears??

Whatever happened to Swoffa? He always had first hand experience when it came to tackle!
