I can't wait to pick up the PE7 in about a week or two.  I love the other smaller models.

Hi Chopstick or ChrisW, is there any chance of posting up a complete set of the JM reels from smallest (JM PE3 is that the smallest) to the big fella PE8 with specs.

or alternatively a link I could have a look at or similar.

Cheers Thumbs Up

funny you should say that Choppy - I know of plenty of 4:1 owners that are or have UPGRADED to faster ratio reels!.....Evil Smile...although I might just have to have a closer look at the PE 7 - that one pictured would look real purty on my Blue-Rose 420!

Don't know why they would want to make it harder to fight a good fish by using a higher gear ratio - but each to their own Kezza.

ya gotta hook the good fish before you can wind it in - those previous 4:1 owners/users I mentioned above have apparently enjoyed an increase in bites since going faster....believe it or not.....anyhoo mate.....was intended as tongue in cheek and didn't really want to start anything.....nice looking reels!

Sometimes, slowing down gets more strikes too; especially with sliders.

The JM boys that design these reels know what they're doing and they know how to make a reel look good too as well as perform.
 
You do need a nice shiney blue JM PE7 to match the excellent Blue-Rose 420 Kezza.Tongue

Jon,
 
775g for the OJ 5000P and 760g for the OJ 4000P. Actually the pics aren't the best. The PE7 and PE8 are both the same diameter; roughly the same as the Accurate 665.
