Please remember they are an electric assist reel and NOT a winch, they are prone to overheating when used hard in Deep water over long periods, so give them a break by hand cranking occasionally if hauling up 3 big blue nose at a time. Hope this helps in your decision making process, cheers swordfishsteve |
