i have no spec's~~~~
but i've had the reel for two full seasons,
and it is on my eeeeeeling/chunking stick,
and it is an excellent reel that has hammered multiple 30#'s,
and lost fish of much largerness due to my googanity ~~~not by any fault of it's own.
i also went swimming with it last year, unintentionally, and it has survived like a champ. the first year i did NOTHING to it, save for rinsing it every other time or so and it was good to go. last year after the dunking i rinsed it, dried it, and re-packed it from A to Z and it is like new~~~~ i have it loaded with 25#Back Country Ande, now, and the first year was with 35# Yozuri Hybrid. both worked well and spooled nicely. my only draw back is not finding a bailless conversion kit, yet. i friggin' despise the whole bail scenario.
hope this helps,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i say GO FOR IT, you will be pleased!!

With the HT100 drag, I think you are going to see 18-22#. That is the working range once you get the fish into a spiral under the boat. Seems I do better when I palm it at that point and am not trying to pumped the rod to lift the fish. Just grab a turn as the fish circles out from under the boat, and I hold on, and rest on the other half of the spiral....

It seems possible that the largest stella will be outclassed by these fish in the next 1-2 years. |

i'm hoping there is an uptick in some younger year classes. truthfully i really only want to target smaller fish with a spinning setup, 60-80# fish, they're fun. |

The problem with cutting the bail off is the possibility of a quick bite by a tuna leaving no time to put the line on the roller.
I just cut off the protrusion on the reel foot that closes the bail, and manually close the bail at the end of the cast. |
Best regards,
Roger
