These reels are more bulletproof than basically every other reel out there even $500+. Not sure how they made these so damn good but it has surpassed my Dauntless, Talicas, Avet raptors, And Penn's in durability. Sucks they don't make them anymore
@Taevon Mahi'ai talicas are garbage... they are made to sell, thats why there so smooth. When you hook a fish its horrible and you get almost no torque on bigger fish with the low gear. to replace talicas, get penn torques. I have found the penn torque to be the best you can get in the medium frame market. For heavy frame reels my Okuma makairas and the Penn VISX are the way to go!!
these are very nice. work flawlessly. I have 2 of narrow version. very happy for the price you can't really go wrong. just my opinion.
would this be ok for yellowtail top iron jigging? new to saltwater, TIA.
Can you use this for pier fishing?
Sure.
Its not too big?
Depends what you are fishing for.
Bull reds sir
You don't want to use a spinning reel?
I would like to know why these reels cost more than the Penn Squall lever drags I am talking about the W's that is
Made in US. ,
Can the Narrow one be used on A jigging rod for jigging and bottom fishing? And is it really heavy?
It can be but it is very heavy. If you want to go American, get an Avet or an Accurate. We have all of them in stock.
Thx Thinking the Penn fathom 2 speed.
That's a better option. www.jandh.com/penn-fathom-2-speed-lever-drag-reels.html
Thx can the 25n handle Amber jacks with 65 pound braid?
Absolutely!
What is the anti reverse system on the new reel, mechanical pawls, AR bearing, or both?
2 dawg and 2 spring anti-reverse system
What rod would you recommend that could be a good match with this reel for deep sea fishing on the west coast?
A Shimano Terez would be my first rod of choice. What is your budget?
come with a clamp?
Yes lol
Baja Special?
It eats baja specials for lunch. Just kidding. This is a much better reel but similar in size and use.
Can I catch snook with this?
Yes but it's a little bulky for that.
Can I use a senator 4/0? Or is it too big
