Nebe 05-22-2006, 12:46 PM i love mine... its a good fit for that rod Sweetwater 05-22-2006, 12:50 PM Any feedback on this reel, the one with the levelwind. Customer looking to team it with 10 ft 1201m lamiglass tossing large plugs. I have a AG 7000CL which is the same retrieve speed as the reel you mention. I find it barely fast enough for plugging (but okay) but it is a great bait fishing reel. Almost has a high enough retreive speed to get the fish landed before a seal takes it. :) I prefer spinning for plugs. Saltheart 05-22-2006, 12:51 PM Nice reel. After adjsuting the mag control where you like it , tape it down with black tape. If it slides forward accidently (prone to do that) you'll loose the plug on the next cast when it blows up. JohnR 05-22-2006, 01:12 PM Sweet reel.... Have a few Green Meanies... Steve K 05-22-2006, 02:02 PM I love both of mine. They are great plugging reels. The retrieve is fine for plugging. If you want a faster retrieve, you can always replace the gear but it is not necessary. I recommend the power handle though. fishonnelsons 05-22-2006, 02:09 PM Sounds like it's the thing to do for him, matches the slow retrieve he wants for larger plugs. AOK on the power handle too, the non-level wind has the power handle, this one doesn't, go figure. Saltheart 05-22-2006, 03:04 PM The BG power handel fits any 6500 size reel including the CS Mag.. costs about $10 to replace the paddle style with the power handle. afterhours 05-22-2006, 08:01 PM love mine. vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2025, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
