I looked at seriously getting one but the only thing that put me off was the gear ratios for me they were neither here nor there so it didnt suit my needs.

What are you looking to use it for ???

They have been out for a little while now and you can get them cheaper than that if you look around ...

ps they are a phisicaly small reel too but do have the line capacity ...

Ignore the gear ratios and look at the retreive rates. Seeing as the spool sizes are a little different than comparable reels, that will mean gear ratios arent directly comparable. A trinidad 16 and a talica 10 have the same gear ratio but the trinidad is about 20% faster. Though, not sure what your needs are (so you might have checked that anyways, just a note for anyone else)

Hi Guys.

Thanks a bunch for the info. Ive been away from the computer and havent been able to reply.

Wanted to use it for a bit of beach casting and bottom bouncing/jigging. But might look at a trinidad 20dc. Hmm just got to justify it to the wife. lol
