Rigging a 50 Reel - Page 2

Hey Steve,

That's what I wondered, so I bought one of the last ones to test its quality. They offer a great warranty if it does break down.

Anyway, it's just a test and I'll probably sell it after Cinco and GEM for what I put into it.

I am respooling my 50w with jb hollow 130 lb. , I will be using a small spool of 130 lb. dacron on the bare spool, then the spectra. This saves a lot of money on filling the spool and dacron is know for longivity. I should still have close to 900 yds. on the spool.

Thanks K-Song, I forgot about that!

What reel is it?

My Dad, Mike in Woodlands aka Grand of Granddad's Fishing Tackle (TBB trip sponsor), is testing a pair of 30w and a pair of 50w on the TBB trip so I am wondering if it is the same ones. The drags on the ones we have put out some serious pressure and are really smooth.

Hey newman and welcome to the site!

It's the private label brand "Colman's" that is silver and blue. It looks as though they private labeled an Avet 50, but that's just speculation.

SKR picked it up last night at my house to test/use on his upcoming Cinco trip in October.

this reel is sweeeeeet.. Can I have first dibs on it if you decide to sell it?

The inner diameter of the spool shaft is a little larger than others i believe. I put all 600 yds on the reel and it looks like a 50yd topshot of 100 mono will be all that fits comfortably. Granted I need to let it all out on the way out to get it good and packed down.....I darn sure dont want it digging in when I hammer down the drag to fight AJ....lol. Very smooth reel- looks very nice on the exterior.... we shall see if it handles everything I can dish out.... Supersize the AJ, then drop back for a huge grouper.... then HOPEFULLY I can get a flying fish out of the lights for the monster yellowfin.

Excellent!

Please put it thru as much locked-drag fishing as you can!

Make sure someone ties an anchor line to your belt! JK!

Hey Gunsmoke! Thanks for the update.

Your buddy mrbill gave us a little update on your fishing!

How did the two fellas from the pier do?

Who did you find to crew when mrbill left?
