This is what happened to my mates one when he put a dirty ol finnor 9500 on and locked up on a GT at the wharf in Niue today



(I think that is the 762xh, and was brand new!)

I'm using a Twin Power 10k on my top water rod, a Kilwell GT Cast. A real nice fit.

Hi John, couple of Waiheke kings and a 20kg Wahoo (report to come). Real real nice rod, loads up well and has heaps of grunt.

Cheers Nat

I think it might be just a little unbalanced as the 18000 are much heavier than say a 10000 which are perfect for the 762xh.
