chevro1et Posted June 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Well, I picked up the reel on Saturday. Rained out all weekend here in Busan, but I spooled up some mono backing and 75m of Sufix 832 50lb braid... now I wait for my Wade Froggs to arrive.

Assuming you read the article thoroughly they mentioned it was meant to fish for frogs (Targeting snake head)! But i use it to cast 2oz-14oz baits. If you'll be using it to fish smaller baits 3oz or less the break system it has will handle it, but i learned from @Good Year 71 that if you want to fish bigger baits it's worth upgrading the break system (Costs less than 10$ shipped, although certain shipments from overseas are limited right now) I can forward you info on upgrading the breaks if needed. I haven't done anything to the reel since i got it used on Ebay besides a regular servicing. Due to it's large line capacity i just spooled mine up with 30% 100Lb braid to fill it up some then i top it off with 20lb for any bait 2oz- 12oz. I do recommend getting line about 90% maybe 95% of the way up so it winds on evenly. I have the reel paired up with my Megabass Destroyer Tenchijin for heavy baits and with the Daiwa DX for smaller baits. I love this reel and it has replaced my Calcutta 400TE, if you have any questions feel free to ask. info on the brake upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
