aiyooooo!!!! slurpalicious...whilst at the tackle shop last evening to pick up my newly-serviced reels in preparation for the upcoming aur/dayang fishing trip (and re-lining them with braided as well), i was introduced to the SHIMANO Torium 20 levelwind reels....
and instantly i am besotted...the reel's pretty decently priced (around the mid 200s) with a whole load of down-to-earth and very useful specs on a really attractive aluminium frame and it calls out to me like no other, like a sweet siren voice wafting on the sea breeze...
well, if my olde faithful Chartered Special gives up the ghost anytime soon (hopefully not during the trip though...CHOY!!!), this will definitely be way up there in the contention stakes for the replacement...perfect for jigging and more than adequate for a spot of live-baiting as well...would probably fit about 400m of 50 pound braided and able to punch well above its weight...niceeeeeeee!
the marketing spiel sezzzz
