| Re: beach/pier reel or boat reel? The reel is 60s technology, but does what is says on the tin. Put some grease (small amount) on the spool spindle which will slow it down and make casting more consistent. As long as you are casting smoothly, you shouldn't have a problem on the pier. Remember this reel has NO BRAKES  and the retrieve ratio is only 3:1.Pier, harbour walls and light boat OK. For distance beach-casting step up to Abu 6500 series or Daiwa Millionaire.  |
