And, i think that one has 40#’s of drag, so it’s got plenty of stopping power. He targets alot of different species, so i think it will be a versatile reel for him. If i remember from a while back, Kil was using one of these reels targeting some pretty impressive fish. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
