as promised i put it through is paces, well atleast a great session to wear in a new reel. managed 4 yellow fin around the 4-5kg mark and a 15kg+ wahoo this morn off pt lookout. i lost a reasonably larger fish i had the drag up around the halfway mark mabey pushing abit more on this fish and handled awesome until i pulled the hooks on it. as far as smoothness it is so good and the drag was perfect the wahoo gave it a good test. unfortunately no GT's but still a awesome morning.
