Tuff and powerful new reel of performance that put Stellas and Saltigas to shame. Made in Australia and cost third as much as the Shimano and Daiwa. I have used all high end reels in the past and saw them break to pieces fighting real big fish. I bought a sniper reel and never touched a saltiga or a stella again. The new Brawn is made to be head and shoulder above the sniper. Best materials and genius design by a dedicated engineer and a fisherman who wants to bring high end reels to everyone without breaking the bank.  Finished weight of 12000 size is less than 800 grams (28 ounces) and holds 1km (1100 yards) of 50 lb braid Designed for deep dropping, large dogtooth tuna, marlin and large bluefin tuna. Magnetic bail lock (no springs) Magnetic drag clicker (no springs) C6191 bronze gears, stainless steel pinion gear all machined Factory limited drag 30kg (66lb) (bench load test line pressure 50kg (110lb) Fully sealed, and oil filled 10 x SS bearings 5 x ertalyte bearings Designed to be service free, 3000hrs of 10 Nm of shaft load @ 3000rpm, gear life. That means 3000 hours of hauling fish before major over haul required Completely CNC machined from 6061, 7075 and 630 SS materials (no plastic parts, no die cast parts) Low rotating mass (minimal inertia start up, and stop) (spins up very quickly, and stops instantly without inducing gear stresses) Dynamically balanced rotor assembly, by specialist turbine manufacturer Meaning the reels feeling is instantly responsive, and less tiring to use than reels with heavy weighted rotors, without sacrificing strength And of course designed and made in Australia by Tuff Tackle Pty ltd |

Haha Nice Kev,
I been reading the 360 and fish wrecked forums on tuff tackle and they certainly don't post a rosy picture of them. I'm thinking If they really want credibility then give the boys from Epic a couple to test. ------------- http://www.legasea.co.nz" rel="nofollow">

Don't know anything about the reel but the first line is worrying.
I've used/owned both Stellas and Saltigas...and to claim that a new reel has put them both to shame. That's a huge claim to make.

what a cool looking reel, if they are as good as you claim please send 4 that can take a minimum of 400yrds or more of either 50 or 80lb braid, as you have described if as good as you say then they can handle marlin and sharks, I await your reply with anticipation. ------------- Ultimate GAME Fishing Adventures.

I don't understand. If I posted the latest Shimano or Daiwa reel, would you have reacted like this? Is it a general rule that if other gear than Shimano and Daiwa was mentioned everyone is going to act like a complete fool? Do a search in your own board to find many posts where excited fishermen posted the newest release from there favorite company and nothing happened to them. WHY? Answer, because Shimano and Daiwa pays big money to sites and salesmen to publicize there gear and make every attempt to lock any competition out.
You keep bringing up this this like it means ****. IT DOESNT. That so called reviewer has zero knowledge of basic metallurgy or tackle manufacturing or what is a good fishing reel. Every line of that so called review exposes his ignorance. If you want to hear about tuff tackle talk to thousands of happy customers and charter companies who used tuff tackle gear. A quote from a real expert ”Having totally dismantled the Diablo Sniper, I can honestly say this reel, is the strongest most stable Spinning reel I have ever seen. It pulls without fault until it breaks 80lb breaking strain.It Also has and a very well thought out line lay system, that won’t collapse under extreme drag pressures. All round the Sniper is definitely stronger than the 2 top Japanese Spinners.” Geoff Simmons ”The Reel Doctor” Professional reel repairs, Servicing, Drag tuning & Parts Ph/Fax 03 9758 9974 Can you read? "Strongest most stable spinning reel I have ever seen" & "THE SNIPER IS DEFINITELY STRONGER THAN THE 2 TOP JAPANESE SPINNERS" I am sure that some people who have no paying interest with ****mano and Daiwa will find the new Brawn a reel worth trying. Those people have an option now that can perform better than the so called top reels without the need to pay $1000. Flame it as you will. A good product will prove itself and soon you will be placing your orders. I don't have a connection to the company. I have the right to be passionte about a product I use and like, like anyone else is free to be about Shimano and Daiwa. |

Pierce, you silly little troll you.... You insist on not being in any way connected with the company, but every couple weeks you pop up with a new user name and post the same crud about a reel that hasn't even been completed and tested anywhere, or at least without any proof whatsoever..... and then you act all hurt and offended when someone calls you out on it???
Instead of posting all this hype, why not go out there with this reel, and catch some bloody fish with it, and post the pics/videos, and prove all of us naysayers wrong... I for one would be super stoked to find a great value high performace spinner out there at half the cost of a Stella, and I'm sure I'm not the only one...
But unfortunately, that hasn't been shown to be the truth yet.... the only information we have on this reel, is the bollocks you have been spewing over the last 18 months on boards all over the net, under buddha knows how many different screen names... always with the same " much better than Stella/Saltiga" rhetoric....
Rather shut up, and go out and field test the damn thing, properly, and come back with the proof and evidence, and then post that up, so you can make us all eat our words.....
Until you can do that, you are just gonna get called out for what you are right now.... a troll!
PS - Commenting that Alan Hawk has " zero knowledge of tackle manufacturing or what is a good fishing reel" is not exactly the best way to go about marketing your product.... Alan Hawk is probably one of the most experienced, least biased fisherman on the planet, whose technical know how is more than impressive, its mind blowing..... attacking him is bound to get you what you deserve, a web based kick in the a$$! ------------- TO RIDE, SHOOT STRAIGHT AND SPEAK THE TRUTH.

"Tuff and powerful new reel of performance that put Stellas and Saltigas to shame." That is what you say. Put your money where your mouth is like Nepptune said go land some fish on it cos I am pretty sure I have seen awesome footage of the Stella's and Saltiga's doing their buisness.

Why is such obvious spam allowed ? Pierce Simon and other names you have used in the past you are not winning ANYONE over with your cheapo spammer marketing. As others have said worldwide ( yes we read offshore forums as well ) get some reels to respected charter skippers and then people will take note . You have zero credibility on any forum. ------------- A recent survey has revealed that only one in seven dwarfs are happy. |

I was lucky enough to get my hands one one of these reels, I used it twice before the bearings collapsed, the handle snapped the drag became jerky and unuseable. The frame started to wobble where it attatched to the stem. Although it looked nice in the flesh, the aluminium used was lite weight and cheap.

I have a brand new unused Tuff Tackle reel for sale. I'm sure Pierce would love to buy a reel he loves so much. How about it Pierce? I'll sell it for what I paid!
So guys, anyone who wants - ”...the Diablo Sniper, I can honestly say this reel, is the strongest most stable Spinning reel I have ever seen.It pulls without fault until it breaks 80lb breaking strain.
It Also has and a very well thought out line lay system, that won’t collapse under extreme drag pressures. All round the Sniper is definitely stronger than the 2 top Japanese Spinners.” will consider offers between $300 and $1500. ------------- give it death! |

You are wrong. That Alan fellow is the one who made the claim that Sniper reels is not made by Tuff Tackle. The Sniper is made by Tuff Tackle in Australia, and this proves that anything Alan has to say is WORNG! The quote in bold is from an independant reel expert Geoff Simmons. His contact details in the quote. Call him to hear about the Sniper. It is up to you. I made a effort to share a good piece of tackle with you which could have saved you a lot of money but Shimano did a good work brainwashing you. All the hate and attacks in this thread shows who really pays the big money to keep fair competition out. It is your loss. Not mine.

To be fair,all you showed us was a picture of a reel/prototype/? and listed it features...
There was nothing to back up their claims on its performance etc..a phone number to a guy I have not heard of does not mean alot to me, and nor would a voice on the end of the phone line had I actually called,and TBH why should the consumer have to search for answer's? thats the job of the marketer..
I pretty much brainwashed myself,my shimano reels have always stood the test of time..it started with TLD's as a young guy,man we thrashed those reels,no washing,no servicing..I cringe now when I think back..through to now where my Stella's have travelled for the last two years to the tropics landing GT's,Yellowfin,etc..while being fished another 100+ days back in NZ each year..so I guess a better approach for Tuff Tackle could be to stop bagging others - including the consumer, and start focusing on how they can market your product in a postive fashion,proving it is a good product?
I dont know much about marketing but I would think "dont bag your competition" is up there in the 101 rule book..I know you said you are just "recommending" these reels and you are not "affiliated" to Tuff Tackle? but you are also doing them no favours...us nu zelunders can use the interweb thingy and do regulalry read other forums as you have found out.
I find treating people how you expect to be treated a better approach. ------------- as dead as dead is |

Look at yourself! You are telling me not to bag my competition! You are full of arrogance and you ignore my assertion that I AM NOT WITH TUFF TACKLE, and you call it "my competition". Is calling me a lyar a good treatment? You end your post with advice to treat people like I want to be treated. Is this hypocrisy of the first grade or what?? If you can finally understand that I am not with Tuff Tackle you will realize that I have all the right to post positive words about my favorite product and to say negatvie words on other products. JUST LIKE ANY OTHER PERSON IN THE WORLD SAYS. You are a moderator, and better than arrogant and hypocritical posts, you should maintain the accuracy of your forum. In this thread ReelAppealLures posted a link for a negative propaganda review by Alan Hawk who does not know his head from his ass, and Titahi posted his own propaganda fake review of the Tuff Tackle and claimed bearings collapsed and frame wobbled, which has as much credibility as any words posted on the internet without proof. Go and delete these 2 posts and then we can talk. But I don't blame you. The money coming from Japan is needed to keep your junk site up, where members are free to attack other members and make false accusations. |

Hello, I am the owner of Tuff Tackle, Simon Ball.
As much as I appreciate the positive nature of the person posting comments on forums about how much you like our products. You can't jump onto forums and discredit other brands.
As alot of readers are presuming you work for me, or you are me.
Forum moderators can easily confirm my IP address is not the same.
The people who use these forums are in it for social reasons, you won't make any friends walking into a Holden christmass party wearing a Ford jacket, and telling everyone that Ford is better than holden.
I am getting alot of emails and phone calls about this, and you need to let it go now.
Thank you

I for one would be interested to hear from you directly about this new reel, the developments you have undertaken and plans to roll them out.

I won't be joining forums to promote our reels.
I am a regular member of a forum in Australia, just for occasional social interaction, between the very busy schedule I have in work.
Any information can be obtained through my website or email.
Don't take that as an offense, I just don't have time, between 3 kids, a busy business, and 9 weeks design time per reel, plus everything else.

| Doosh bag? Why after a week of my last post you are still saying such childish insults and personal attacks? This is a fishing site, and you are supposed to be respectful and fair. Please stop this and give the reel a chance. It will prove it's self and you will thank me for bringing a good product to your attention. |

Pierce the only that will hurt the Brand here in NZ is you, as Simon has stated you have nothing to do with his company,you may be passionate about the product that's all good but the reel has not been made as yet and has not been tested here in NZ,you will find some here will get hold of them and do there on reviews, ------------- "It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled” Mark Twain |

brilliant moocha pierce the reel is not as good as stellas or saltigas. you believe it is but it is not. this has been shown many times over. if it is as good you would have produced solid evidence and you havent. ------------- http://www.legasea.co.nz" rel="nofollow">

So P Marcus has gone back to spamming the 360Tuna forums........................... http://www.360tuna.com/forum/f3/testing-brawn-reel-24847/ - http://www.360tuna.com/forum/f3/testing-brawn-reel-24847/ ............... it seems that they have developed a spinning reel that has a bail arm that can flip back & forth, a handle that turns and a drag knob that you can tighten, remarkable. I bet Shimano & Daiwa are crapping themselves after seeing that vid.

ok, I have been doing some research on these reels and chatting with a few mates in Australia in the industry,they have made some good and bad comments but one thing they have all said its down to $ and what the customer is per paired to pay.a couple of them suggested I have a good read of this,alot of rubbish but there is also some good info regarding reels in the current market in Australia(which could also be similar to NZ),I'm still out on these at the moment but need to keep an open mind- better add- I dont and wont have any thing to do with this company regarding reels http://www.fishnet.com.au/forums/viewtopic.php?t=102775&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&f=10 - http://www.fishnet.com.au/forums/viewtopic.php?t=102775&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&f=10

Next time your chatting to them mark, can you ask why if it's an Aussie product that it isn't branded made in Australia? |
