Spent the day out on the water, used my new/used Diawa Sealine and loved it. It's a very nice Reel! Thanks for pointing me in that direction Paul.

Most welcome John. Glad you're happy with it. And like I said, yours has a brother anytime you want one. Just say the word. :)

They are the backbone to my offshore rods. These reels are USA made ranging from early to late 70's 100% rebuilt. They were my dads reels when I offshore bluefin and yellowfin tuna fished with him on his v20. Now I have my built v20 and still fishing his reels on newer rods. Yes there heavy grinders and have a low gear ratio but I like bottom end in my offshore reels and there Bullet proof and easily rebuildable due to availible cheap parts. I upgraded the drags and reel-x the inside and they are smooth as glass!!

Hey Kracker Jack, your not fooling around, that's some setup of rods and reels you've got there! Very nice.
