Six Shooter Bait casting reel
The tide line six shooter bait casting reel
This is my first impressions review of this reel
First thing you will notice is the grand appearance of this quality
reel it is finished in emerald green with gold hardware and spool
it looks and feels top quality I think it’s the perfect spinning
reel for adding to the xl spinning rod it feels very smooth and
positive action of the clutch and magnetic brake system make it
easy to use.
The level wind is lined so will not chafe or catch your line it has a very smooth action and winds the line on evenly on to the spool.
Note the flip button here this allows you to let line
out without disengaging the spool
And the easy to access thumb button this makes one handed casting a
breeze.
The handles have a rubber feel to them so they are very easy on the fingers during a long days casting and retrieving
You can see here the magnetic break system control its
easy to add or decrease the resistance when casting and the easy to
see markings mean you can see by how much you are adjusting the
breaking system .
I think masterline have got this just right the low profile of the
reel make it comfortable on the hand while using and the controls
of the reel are all very well set out so they can be easily reached
and used this means that a full days spinning/plugging would be
easy on the hands I teamed this reel with the xl spinning rod and
think it’s the perfect combination for the kayak the reel retails
for £39.95 .
I think its great value for that and sure to be a favourite amongst
us kayak fishermen
