Re: rods and reels, penn?

The 525mag has better braking as it has magnets. The 525GS is just a standard multiplyer. Both reels are good and will suffice for most fishing situations but, i would honestly say that the 525mag is a lot better reel due to being able to control the line in the cast alot better.

As for which type of rod well thats personal choice. I only use 12' 6" two peice rods personally. I have no need for a longer rod. They do exactly what i want from them.

Why not go for a 2 piece 13ft rod?

Hi Folks,

My preference would be an ABU Mag Elite with a Daiwa STS 12PM.

Cheers

Re: rods and reels, penn?

Benn - the 525GS Mag has the same magnet assy as the 525Mag but retains the GS spool rather than the all alloy mag spool with inboard bearings. Neil
