Adjustable reel seat and can take a over head reel only $300 peso's Will come back after the weekend to tell you all how it casts and feels. Next issue is what reel?

No wonder NZ retailers are doing it hard.If the product was even double the china price I would buy it. not quadruple. If I import 10 rolls and price dropped down to $3.50 per roll $40 landed at my door Done a break test and exceeds 15.5 or 30lb,Got it to break at 40lb. crude test tied to a set of electric scales. |
