If one black fin did that, I would hate to see what a big YFT would do to that reel!

You get what you pay for. Sure did rust fast. Don't think that reel will be on my most wanted list. Gunsmoke would have tied the sea anchor to that reel after seeing those pics. It then would have been beating with a sledge hammer and burned in the pit. Then, blackballed for life.

i don't know if this is an isolated issue or a common problem. however i am glad i don't own 50 of them...lol.. my left index finger has almost healed from a blackfin that hit the jig while i was hand lining it back up. the spectre cut my finger to the bone at a joint when the tuna hit....rick
