You can get any, I have the original and the 2 and I don't notice any difference in functionality, the 2 does look sharper though.  8) ;)

You need to adjust your reel and feather it during casting.
What model of levelwinder do you have?

Level Winder? i got the reel that was on the combo with rod. Black Max 2, size 2 I believe. The guy said somthing along those lines.


I took it out to the yard, did a bunch of setting changes with a 1 oz instead of a smaller weight and had great success. Did about 200 cast and its smooth and works great. I had the setting on the left side pretty much the highest, when I had it at low then it would birds nests...

Can't wait for next week, ill report back with a salmon tally

I use mine for bass but recently used it in the salt. Did very well and survived in perfect condition. Was jigging big 6-8 ounce jigs and caught some lings into the 10 pound range, a smaller 6-gill shark, plenty of -5 pound rock fish and a few 10-15 pound red snappers. Had my reel for about 5 years now and no problems. But then again I don't use it too much.
