that would have gone like a shower of .... imagine how you'd be to be getting hammered by that thing and think you're onto a ripper fish.........and you haul up a cattie!
Decided to go for the JDM Daiwa Freams 4500J
For someone with a preference for shimano, i seem to have now magically acquired 3 daiwa's in quick succession..........
"In Australia Daiwa released Capricorn 4500J which has a new Saltiga type handle, larger type power knob and a waterproof drag. In Japan this reel was listed as a Freams 4500J. "
oh and i know there'll be the "get a 18000 series reel and put 100lb on it, etc etc.."
But i'm not really into that... the lighter gear and degree of uncertainty adds to the
excitement i think...
the usual...cobes, kingies, AJ's, macks, tuna....
Depth will be 100m absolute max
rod unknown at this point
jig weights to mostly suit the current, but prob from 100-250g
there's a big weight difference between the sara 4000 and 5000, not a huge line capacity diff and no drag pressure diff...is going up to the 5000 worth it ?
