  1. That's like asking what's the difference between a mustang and a Ferrari.
  2. I get it man not for everyone, it's what you can afford or what you are willing to splurge on some can do Breitling and others a rolex
  3. @formula1 waiting on their reply on specs I'm also curious on what makes the most hardcore reel even hardcorer? Lol ..all I know is that you can only get it in black.
  4. Available early may with 3 to 6 week per order , MAKO states this is their most toughest reel yet ! also available with a color coded snap in drag indicator making your settings instant. Now I have to sell one of my makos just to soften the blow lol ,I'll be using this upcoming summer for the north bounder poons.
  5. I can go down to 375.00 if interested thx
  6. Np.. what's your budget?
  7. I have a excellent condition sage salt 5wt with fighting butt used twice if you're interested... I don't have original tube but will provide a hard cardboard tube asking 450.00
  8. There's is no way you're going to win a battle against a big poon with a C&P noooo waaay! For schoolies and non hard fighting fish sure I wouldn't even use it for albies. My friend drag went MIA on a ablie trip and he basically had to hand line it palming and pinching the line with fingers wasn't enough to prevent backlash.
  9. You will both enjoy it very much...my next bucket list is to head back and target moma toman aka giant snake heads and golden mahseer In the jungle.
  10. Here's a few under water shots I got from my go pro...
  11. Hey bro its called LA Ventana almost three hours north of cabo san Lucas or 1hr and a half south of LA Paz .
  12. @Mike Oliver Yup its definitely a different stroke for different folks .....we all have different muscle memory and casting styles.
  13. So far I fished the 8 and 9wt R8 salt both rods cast and fight very well I did not up line due to the fact that Rio (flats pro) lines are half or 1up according to their grain chart but I did go up just to see how it cast ... ...also picked up the 11wt it will also be tested this upcoming spring season for the tarpon migration. Compared to the method and sageX it's definitely a tad slower, to me the rod has a softer tip which is a plus for sight fishing .
  14. Thx, Yup a workout it got. Manhandled 25 to 30lbs bulls just fine
  15. Put the new R8 8wt to the test and it performed flawlessly in casting and fighting..As always weather weather weather sustained 20mph winds and muddy waters was no bueno for sightfishing But sometimes there's a gift here and there and you have to capitalize, shots had to be pretty much perfect.
