I have The Tica taurus, Im a pig. I catch loads of fish. I kill gear. I killed how many rods this year 8 lamie's
Blew up a bunch of penn reels.. Killed my sand sled and ate a babys arm holding an apple....
The first night for the taurrus It took bass to 32 pounds and a bunch up to 30.... If You take care of it.It will be ok...
I didnt water proof the reel like I do to the others(pack grease in the side plates andfront and reer covers rotator cup ect......)
The drag Is pissa and the reel is smooth, The only thing is the weirgt of the reel and the gay gold parts.......
I tore My shimano sustain 6000FB down.....
I beat the hell out of that reel and I aint kiddin. I took a few thousand fish on this reel and thats no exaggeration.......
I almost Puked a lung when I seen the felt drag washers in this reel... It is soo smooth its a nice reel mated to 14 fire line and I give it a Hamma time 4 star rating.......
I would buy another one.......(it has Gay gold plates to But im trying to rott them Like Slip on a jig......)
The trick to thes reels is packing them with grease I use super lube..Its kinda cool when You tear the reel down and Ya turned the grease black
I have a pile of penns I break I meen use to
My 2 bits........
Oh Yeah Here is the first night on the taurus
