If your seriouse Do a search,

You can't go wrong with a Shimano Tiara or TLD or A penn international. There is a buzz about this Red Pig reel, But I would buy that after you got your core set up.


sdjroyal - Why don't you Pay for a ad instead of being such a leach.

Either Tiagra 80 or alutecnos 80 and you will be all set....whatever you do STAY AWAY from the Okuma (pictured) as they are the bottom of the barrel.

yes the accurates are the best, if u are new to fishing u really dont need those reels but if u really wan them go to Melton international Tackle - Your Home For Big Game Fishing Tackle and Reels they have them in all black. that is what i have all black accurates!!!!

DO NOT BUY OKUMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE THE WORST. If you did buy an okuma, don't buy from this guy who brings nothing to the forum. You can't go wrong with accurate, Shimano, Penn, or Avet. If you are using them just for swords go with 80s.

Get the alutecnos 80W, it will eat an accurate. I hate my accurate (Boss Magnum 665HXM). alutecnos are by far the best reels I've ever used.

Question - Why does everyone think you need 80 wides for swordfish? They are huge reels and I have yet to see a swordfish down here that could not be caught on a 50 wide - be it Penn, Avet, or the like. You certainly don't need an 80 for the drag as everyone fights swords with pretty light drags unless it gets down and dirty and you have to really button down the drag. With any 50 wide giving you more than enough drag for swordfishing and holding a full 1500 yards of 80 pound braid I ask again -are 80 wides really neccesary?

I would say a two speed reel is the only way to go for grinding it out with a fish that is fighting deep like a big YFT or Sword but the 50 wides always do the job.

is this 2 speed ?

[girber420]

if you need to ask that question, you should not selling reels!!!!!!!!!!

[Harry Klauber]

Since the end of the handle shaft is not in the picture no one could tell if it was 2, or even 3 speed - do they make 3 speed reels? Just joking Royal - you have to be able to take some chit on the forum.
