Nice!  I have 50lb Sufix 832 on mine but most on this site seem to favour Jerry Brown?

It's an amazing bit of kit, you wont be disappointed.

Good luck breaking it in!

Hi guys,

I am interested in getting the 5500h too. Which will be used for PE6 GT popping in Maldives.

But reading on the specs, the 5500h only provides 15kg of drag. Will this be enough for Maldivian GTs? Else, is there anyways we can upgrade the drag of this reels? 

Leo Sorbello:
Are you able to stand tall with a 15kg fighting drag through the rod...if the reel can indeed take that in the model you have. I'm not being funny, but its a point to take into account, if someone can actually handle greater than 15kg drag for more than say 10 minutes  :o.

Regards

Leo

Alif Morzuki:
Point taken @Leo Sorbello .
That question really makes sense. Now you mentioned it, I looked at the popping rod i bought (FCL Labo UC81 M) it actually states drag max is 14kg. 
I'm still quite new in this popping scene and currently trying to build up a popping outfit slowly for my Maldives trip next month.

Thanks mate!  :)

Since this reel has been out for a few months now I'm just wondering what those who have used it think of it?

Is it as good as the hype?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

There's no hype. The reel is fantastic!
Strong and resilient. I Load mine with 220m of PE 8 and paired with an EP 82/38.

Liked it so much I got another one.

Used to use only Stellas, now I use both.
