New sword fishing reels - Tica 50wst

Duke · 08-09-2005, 09:09 AM

Have a opportunity to add to the swordfishing arsenal with some Tica 50 wts or Daiwa Slt 50w 2spds (Cheap!

) ). Both look nice and beefy(especially the Daiwas). Does anyone have any experience with these? Thanks DUKE

I'm familiar with the Tica 50 - Good drag system and light weigt. reel. If you can get it for say under $450, I'd say go for it.
