Gidday all,
My current GT rod is a Daiwa Muramura 76 with Saltiga 6000GT with 100lb Hi-Seas Grand Slam Braid and 130 lb Grand Slam Leader.
I am looking at a Carpenter EP86/36 and a Monter Hunter 80H, I will spool with Tasline by Paulus 100lb tested at 137.4 and very thin at 0.545
I also have a Van Staal 100vs fitted to a Saltiga 60s with 20lb (39lbtest) and its a fantastic light combination and the Van Stall is as good as any Japanese reel I have used.
As the Van Staal is so good I am looking at the ZeeBass 27 with Bail and offshore handle, these can be picked up in the US for under $1000Au. They a carry about the same langth of line as a Dogfight but retrieve 39.5" instead of 49" per turn, but they are 195grams lighter.
Any thoughts on the ZeeBaas 27 as a GT popper and stickbait reel, or has anyone used one for GT's?
Regards
Mark Whitaker, Cairns
