Post by Tackleberry » Sun Feb 21, 2016 10:18 pm

Ok after using the two PENN squalls i bought i really like how smooooth and quiet they

are when i cast them .......... so what is out there that would be a good replacement for

my old ABU 6500 C3 .

it's on a 701 ugly stick i built 15 years ago i use it with 12lb mono for spinning up skippys

and salmon .


cheers TAC

I don't have a lot of experience with overheads but if you like the squalls buy another one?

Dinga has them fairly cheap, I paid 138 for my 60ld

Have a look at a daiwa millionaire 300s, would be a good option for what you do with it.
Cast, catch and put it back
