Having burned out a few Abu's and a 525 (I lack the needed mainenance gene I guess)
I fish a squidder 146 (Narrow) with 65lb braid for jigging and a newell 229 with 25lb mono for the surf...
for the $$ you cant kill a squidder beyond repair, but they are slow and heavy... the newell 229 balances well on a 1213 for a heavy conventional set-up |
