Looking for a good combo unit, and have narrowed the choice down to include a Kristal 621 or 651 reel.
Main use is deep dropping, probably 600-1,000 feet, with occasional use in Bahamas. Is the 651 worth the extra $700, or do you think I'll be good with the 621? Appreciate the input, TJ |

For the last two years I have been using a Precision reel motor attached to a Penn 6/0 (black) reel. I drop several days each week for 5-6 months each year at depths of 400 to 900 feet. Although certainly not the caliber of a Kristal, this equipment has worked flawlessly and at about 1/2 to 1/3 the price of a Kristal. Depth is only limited by the amount of line I can get on the reel. I have about completed building a "bandit" reel which will get me to at least 3000 ft at a cost of about $300.
