mr-m00d Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Sorry I’m pretty new to the larger reel family, What rod would you match this reel too, Would this reel be suitable for throwing plastics and live baiting for Sydney kings, What type of fishing would be suitable for this reel? I have a stx20, and dammm, it’s a crazy reel for the price. thanks kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodch0p Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Number 12 would have to be the new premier spin, I'm surprised you haven't scored yourself one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear ... that's like a red flag to a bull! Nice work Slink. Even more justification for me to purchase more tackle Cheers Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loaded with 30lb braid so you have some stopping power, it would be an absolute weapon. (The only reason I don't also have a 40 is that I currently have a Sustain and a Fireblood in that size). For me, the 60 is going to be a heavy plastics reel off Townsville (and those with memories will know that not so long ago I got a Daiwa Exceller Oceano 4500 for that... oh well, upgrading never hurt anyone) The 70 is coming with me offshore from the Tweed... (along with my recently arrived ABU 10000C) Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr-m00d Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 thanks slinky, which rod would you add to that reel, im loving my stx20, on a lox rod, so im planning on sticking with abu for now, kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared with the STX60 anyway. Cheers Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared with the STX60 anyway. Cheers Marty The Oceano is a good reel... tough, simple, pretty basic. It'll handle 30lb braid no problems. But I just bought an STX60 to replace it though... speaks for itself. The Abu is several classes above the Oceano... probably in a different school, actually. It's only personal opinion but I still believe that to get a reel from Daiwa or Shimano as good as an STX you need to spend at least double the money.
