Surfrat815 Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Hey guys was wondering if any of you use this reel for bottom fishing? Ive used mine for swimbaits in freshwater and it's a sweet reel but never thrown more than like 3-4 oz. I have a scup/seabass trip coming up, and Im hoping itll be able to handle dropping 6-10 oz without destroying the gears. I just don't want to buy another reel if I don't have to. Thanks!

Mike Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 It'll be fine. Bring 4 and 6oz lead. You're not trying to anchor the boat. Surfrat815 1 "Depend not on fortune, but on conduct." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but we usually start off with 6 and have to step up to 8-10 when the tide really starts running or there's rough seas. Like I said just don't wanna eff the reel up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 It's a $350 round reel. If is can't handle 10, Diawa should get out of the reel business. "Depend not on fortune, but on conduct." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
