International 70's

kyle · 10-11-2006, 10:12 PM

Do any of you guy have experience with the International 70's?

Was looking at them the other day. Do you think they are okay with the topshot or just go with the 80's.

Just wondering because I have alot of smaller people that fish on my boat and the 80's might just be too big.

thanks
Kyle

we got a good deal on 2 of these reels last year. Very smooth and quality. As you said, they are smaller than the 80's and not as heavy.

I have used a set for some time and they are almost perfect size/weight wise. I use 1100 yards of 130# JBHC to a 25" windon, i don't use a topshot and is ideal...DUKE

I just pick up a 70VS the other week. Haven't got the chance to try it out yet, hoping for tomorrow night. I spooled it with 645yds of 80lb Momoi Hi-Vis and a Momoi 300lb wind-on. I can't wait to try it out. The handle is awesome!

The perfect swordfish reel. 15lbs on strike and 25 in the corner with spool that can take alot of line. Very nice choice of reels. I have been using them for awhile and really like them.
