Okay, I will have a crack; Product: Daiwa Steez 100HA Casting Reel Type: Baitcaster Colour Range: Smoke metal finish. Price: $649.00 (Motackle) Quality: Amazing Action: 4kg drag. Experience: I bought this reel whilst I was overseas last year, as I was earning a bit more coin. It is a freshwater reel only, due to it's construction. Thus far, I have caught Bass, Golden Perch, Silver Perch, Murray and Mary River Cod. It is an amazing reel, and is incredibly smooth whilst under load and on the retrieve. It casts light lures (3/16oz) pretty well, but really comes into its own when throwing 1/4 to 1/2oz baits. It is super fast, yet holds a good bit of grunt when tackling those bigger fish. The biggest load so far has been 14kg of Mary Cod, and it handled this with ease. I usually have it paired up with a Samurai Reaction B351 (10-17lb), which is super light with a very fast action. Together, this combo is one of the lightest you can get, and casting all day is a dream. I have a crowbar which I usually pair on cod trips, and again, it works like a dream. I currently have it spooled with 20lb, and it fits approximately 70m. This is more than adequate for the sweetwater I have found, and the thicker diameter moves through the reel with ease. Overall, I rate this reel very highly, and wish I had a job which would allow me to get gear of this quality more often Oh, and one other thing, I am not associated with Daiwa, I think it might be a skill thing :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Went for a trip up to North Pine River (above the dam) for a fish. It rained on us constantly and no fish, good time though! -
