| Hello, I've got a couple somewhere which isn't being used much. Could possibly be interested in selling. I used them for use with a bait cannon off our coast |

Hahaha They are an awesome reel. Very simple as you say but when used for surf casting you can definitely cast further than modern reels once you learn the technique. I built a compressed air bait launcher that was awesome to use with these reels to get out 150-250m. My brother in-law got a kontiki so now not used as much. My favorite way of fishing is balloon fishing of the Canterbury coast with a Penn Senator 9/0 reel with over 1km of 80lb braid. Biggest fish so far is a 55kg 1.7m long school shark. |

If you find the reels Billbobnz throw up some pics I could be interested, have just got a couple of 4.5" off TM (bit smaller than I wanted but should be ok to play with). It's a bit like guns you can never have too many, something for every occasion (well thats my excuse). |
