HI Iv'e just aquired 2 of these at a very fair price complete with 15lb line and reel bags. Can anyone give me any info as to the performance and what situation they would be ideal for using for sea fishing.

Hey Trooper, thanks for that it looks like I got a bargain Ive just purchased two of them. All I can say at this moment is that Ive never felt a reel as smooth as these. The finish is really good too. keith

my son has 2 of these he uses for carp fishing, very nice smooth reels, and with the baitrunner on would make a good reel for bass fishing (this is what i've been told) but my son only uses his in fresh water. big grin

So for bass fishing using the fs10000 it would pair up with an 11ft beachcaster or would you recommend a diferent rod? keith

i was told that if you put a whole mackeral on bass will pick up the bait and run with it, thats where the freespool comes into it's own, but i'm still revelately new to sea fishing, so could be wrong, it's just what ive been told. big grin
