The ones on the Canal used to use Newell 229s. Now they use Emblem Pro spinning reels with braid

Ron carrys a gold VS 300 with him now and rumor has it that he just got a Zee Baas

As far as backlashes go---there is absolutely no reason to ever use less than 50# braid on any conventional. Or even 65# or a very thick 50 like Cortland Master Braid.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
