Captain Spanner..sorry mate I don't get on here often! I ended up getting this setup and it has handled some ok sized fish during this time but nothing massive. I've caught 60-65cm Bonito, rat Kingfish around 65-70cm, heaps of small stuff like tailor, flathead, small maori cod and trevally. It's held up well but i find the heavier jigs and sinkers will take its toll on the line release button..
Decent little setup, fun to use but i find myself reaching for my spin gear more often..
