I blew up a fin-nor.
Replaced it with a Saragosa.
This $100-200 price line on "tuna" reels is really playing russian roulette. |

I agree, but we are in "the worse economy ever inherited".  They will get the job done. |

If the economy is an excuse to use cheap gear, then you don't belong tuna fishing. |

likwid = internet hero
hi ted 
I do have a lot of reservations about the popularity of spinfishing decent sized fish.
In the propper hands it can be done right, but....
I am already seeing repots from the NC boys 'went 3 for 13 today, broke off alot of fish on jigs and poppers' or 'ffought a nice fish for 2.5hr before releasing it'... |
