I too have received my John Baker. Mine is a JB 6 wihtout lugs. I have to agree with MrBill on the problems that it has. I do not believe that it will break. Mine came with line on it.(made sure I could return it first.) I test out the drag as much as my weak 30lb scale would take and it was as smooth as could be. My only real concern is that the studs for the clamp will not fit any reel seat on any rod that I own. I sent mine back today and the guys at Charkbait and trying to see if JB will take another body and make the "Stance" wider.
Chrakbait has really been helpfull with all of this. They sent me a UPS tag so that I got free shipping again.
I think the reel would be really great if it did not present the problems mentioned. Can you get an accurate b2-665 to hold anywhere near 40lb of drag? After the 30lb tests i am under the impression that it would take more...
