Re: Reel recommdations
I didn't mean to Hi-jack David's thread. Accurate's are great from what I've seen & read Jeff.
Thanks on that suggestion, have an Avet Sx, but I prefer a star drag. I recently acquired a Maxel. Used only 3 times so far. Great little reel. Looking to upgrade some of my ancient but proven stuff. David -- I hope you got some great input from this site, now both you & Jeff go get a doormat. Tight Lines, Tom K. |

Re: Reel recommdations
The accurate valiant and maxel hybrid are nice little reels, but put them side by side with other similar reels in the same class and you will notice they just aren't that smooth out of the box. And the Lexa 300 at $199 (list price) vs the valiant at $399 is a no brainer... If you're gonna spend that kinda money, get the Daiwa Saltiga 15H (US Spec) and call it a day. Put the handle in the outward power position and you have a NE fish killer in your hands! The new Saltiga is the smoothest reel on the market right now in the class (in the US!).

Re: Reel recommdations
thinking about doing The Gambler 10 exotic trip for Mahi Mahi, Bonito and other pelagic fish. I have a Shimano Torium 16hg and a Daiwa sea-line x-50 sha. I wanted to know if these would be good for that type of fishing. And what kind of line and test?

Re: Reel recommdations
Those reels should be fine for the fish you will encounter.
I'd put 30 pound braid on them. You can back them with mono then a few hundred yards of braid then a 20 pound mono top shot for your leader.
