Here I have seen them at the Bass pro, they seem like a nice reel for the money. CB and I were talking about them and we might both buy one soon? I am looking at the 5500, that be a nice one for casting to bass or blues when they are on top of the water, or a fluke set up!
I use 95% conventional gear, I do own a 450 SS Penn, for schoolies, and a 650 SS that have not seen the water in years.
I have the 450 spooled up with 30# Spiderwire that's 8# Dia great for casting, AI have on a 7 foot Ugly Stick, They are a great rod at a great price. I have some custom rods I built, and some I bought. But now I just want stuff simple and I can no longer make the rods.
The Ugly Stick Tiger rods, in yellow are tuff rods! I have 3 of them, and 2 black ones, and I have nothing bad to say about them at all!
I have Shimano Telota 600's on them and, love the set up's.
