Wouldn't have the use for them back in my rock hopping days Fed

I picked the 10000 because big numbers are always better....right?

Nope ! line capacity on the spool

I dont fush like your average Joe Blow who's idea of fushing is to lock up the drag & skull drag the fish in

That's wot F*@88's up tackle, was on the dog & bone for sum time yesterday in regards to these reels talking to a Mexican sth of our border

Got all the in's & outs, specs etc etc where all the parts came from & so on

Think I recall correctly when he said that around 150 charter operators use them & lets face it alot of useless fisho's do charters who dont look after gear so it would cop alot of abuse.

The carbonex drag washers are individually verniared for thicknes & any not up to scratch are rejected

No that I would even come close to tightening the drag @

- 37 - 59kg (80lb- 130lb) rated with 30kg (66lb) of drag

but I was assured it could handle that sort of pressure

I'll be running around 5 kg of drag through the SNIPER & it'll be used on YFT when they rock up in no's

The sniper is double the price of the smaller 9000 which I think is better suited to kungs cause they dont scream alot of line off the spool reason for the $$'s jump is the stainless gearing.

April see's the full range of these reels released currently only these 2 models are available

Well they arrived today got a ling ling ling to let me know

So went out to pick them up ready for the Will Smith CONCERT 2morro

Spewing that the stick I'd signalled out to mount wun on got sent to Can Berry so had to open the sample box's & pick out a couple of temp stick for the reels

Did spool them up with Platil Millenium fused braid, have used this stuff B4 & liked it super fine compared to oter braids & I'll have no probs @ all getting line capacity onto spools once the YFT seasn starts.

Did set he drag settingd on scales & twas smooth 2morro will be the test.

Boat is loaded with nut ting but the LOX rods for the CONCERT both jig & spin, dont know if I'm gonna do any Jigging think I'll sit back & watch & laugh, did rig up sum ting like 50 knife jigs today so they'll be a GooDarus range of lures to choose from.

Also setup a bag full of Bomber Lures I may put down on he Scotty2Hotty's

Hopefully the fushy's will co-operate cause I'd really like to punish the gear to see wo it can do
