Hi! I’ve tried everything on the market for casting floats for salmon and steelhead. Everything on the market… this is where I ended up. As solid as the curado 300 with a better braking system, and the effing monster drive…. The reel has the same set as the anatares MD DC. A 900$ dollar reel. I will tell you why this reel did not come in DC. Because it was unneeded. The braking system on this reel is the best on earth. This reel has a 15lb drag. I’ve landed sturgeon on Abu Garcia’s with 15lb drags. And is more than needed for salmon. And it’s the smoothest drag I’ve ever felt.
Awesome Reel .. built for throwing bigger baits , holds plenty of like , smooth retrieve and long casts .I went with the JDM version due to a higher gear Raitio 7:9 than the Tranx 300 and Curado K 300 .. They’re all great reels just personal preference the Jdm version also has 8 brake settings compared to 6 on the others .. Love this reel ..
