FletcherG1991 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) can anyone give me some feedback on these reel (probably the 30 or 40 as i will be rnning 30lb braid on it) it will be used as an all round heavyer line class rod (so jigging, bottom bashing, livebaiting for jewfish, trolling small skirts for striped tuna and dollies etc) how is th drag on this reel and how do they perform after a few years (oviously taking care of them) are they ok to cast with ? and some general feedback on them would be greatly appreciated i know alot of you will probably say get a lever drag for trolling and live baiting but i can't find any that i like and this reel looks like a tough reel also what rod should i match it with Cheers, Fletcher Edited November 28, 2006 by FletcherG1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jewel Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Too much reel for dollies and stripies..... would want to be a good jew too give them grief too. Have got 26lb of drag out of the 40. They are only fairly new models so its anyones guess about a few years time..... but they are upper middle Daiwa so they should be fine. Any overhead can be cast......... how good are you at casting? You want to use it off the beach and rocks or just toss livies away from the boat? Why dont you duck in to one of the sponsors shops and have a chat......you will be able to feel the rods and decide wether they suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
