Why I love Overheads

[JS270]

Just love the sound of an overhead unloading when you get a good cast away

Even when you start with a few hassles you quickly forget that when you nail the rest

I'll leave that for people who enjoy untangling birds nests

whats the actually difference between that and a spinning reel?
you can cast out further?

The overhead has an advantage of about 10% in maximum distance, there size and weight is generally better though with the newer high end thread lines are bridging this gap well.
It takes a little more skill in controlling the reels so that gives you that feeling of being more in control of the cast.

Also I find it much better when casting heavier weights i.e 6 to 8 oz and bigger baits .

What reel do you use for fishing these days? I've been thinking about getting a Daiwa 7ht mag elite to pair up with a ziplex evo.
My Abu 7000c works great, just lost a bit of confidence with it at night. Think the mag would be good for night fishing.

probably a squall 12 or 15

My go too reel for surf and around the bay is the Penn Squall 15 running 15 pound Suffix tritanium and a 80 pound shock leader . the Zziplex M4 Evo is a sweet rod and I really liked casting with the 125 gram lead on it though it will handle all of the common sized leads with ease .

The gearing and Mag system is excellent and better for fishing than the Daiwa though for long range casting the 7HT ST is one of my go to reels .

Thanks I'll go and have a look at the squall. Cheers!

I've got a couple and really like them, I thought the line capacity might be a bit low for bait sliding though which is why I got the LTC30

I might get the squall 50 or 60 for ballooning instead of the marquesa actually
