Hi Mike,
Havent pulled the trigger on the reel yet. Not because I didnt want too....My fishing season is done for the most part. I wore myself out this year but it was my best year for fish over 40lbs so the time/energy and lack of sleep made it a very worth while fall season for me. Also I have been managing a few controlled burns on Marthas Vineyard in the State Forest which is pretty time consuming to say the least. My wife made it a point that I save some vaca. time for our annual trip to GA to visit the inlaws around Christmas or else. I will be buying the reel soon and during my trip to GA might try my luck at in-laws vaca.house on Lake Hartwell,GA for some land-lock stripers and of course my surf caught cod trips here in Plymouth in late Jan/early Feb. if the weather warm enough to do so. Once I get the reel and fish it for awhile I will be sure to post a review of the findings -likes/dislikes. Might be awhile though.
I dont use braid as I have had bad luck with wind knots and break offs in the rocks. I use Yo-Zuri Hybrid 25lb with 50lb 4' leader with 6/0 Mustad and have had excellent luck with this set-up the last 5 years. You fish braid? If so what kind?
You done for the year or you still fishing?
Take care bro.
