New Shimano Spheros

Brandon Khoo:
well, I hope there is. It is about time that one of the big manufacturers released a reel that can handle big fish with wound up drags that doesn't cost > $1000. I know quite a number of fishos who would love to get into this type of fishing but the pricing of the equipment is prohibitive. I've had friends who were open-mouthed shocked when I told them their Saltiga GT86 or TN80 weren't much more than an entry level rod into this type of fishing. They had assumed they were the best money could buy!

Andrew Poulos:
Randy, good try but wont be swapping the dogfighter for a spheros any time soon. The penn is the back up reel and the reel I take to areas where the crowds are dodgy or my gear isnt too close to me. I had looked at the spheros but got a bonus from work so upgraded.

lonhro:
 ;) Oh well,
thanks squidgie, i think that is as close as i will ever get to a DF. hmmm worth the try lol.

Greg Burt:
 The backup [penn rig] also comes in handy when you need to lend a rig or for Greenhorns on the boat with no gear,` STELLAS & DF'S FOR GOOD EXPERIANCED MATE'S ONLY'. ;)

That's a good idea GPB.

Looks like a hefty AJ in your avatar?

Cheers,
