The reel looks sensational with its beautiful black and gold colouring and has some incredible features such as 9 + 1 stainless steel ball bearings, 5.8:1 ratio and some excellent line capacity. The drag strength on these reels is incredible. The reels also feel like a dream. The big knob on the handle make commanding the fish a breeze…you are fully in control of the fish. So, be excited – be very excited! The side casts are still king of the beach, but these reels are about to become king of the estuaries, flats, bays and reefs!
