Cool

a reel that can do double duty for stripers AND bft?

ah, i dunno if such a creature really exists.

while the trinidads are nice reels, they are a but cumbersome for surfcasting (heavy, and lordy, that BULGE!). on school BFT, they might be adequate.

i suppose if you strictly limit yourself to a boat, a larger 5-series sized Newell could fit the bill.

charkbait has a number of newell models that some guys use to pitch jigs to wahoo, for example, and could easily be used for bass reels.

p.s. I have a Shimano TLD 15 convench for sale over at the b-s-t forum at SOL. $105 shipped.
