Great info everyone. I like the idea of a 200# JB top shot for moving big fish. Looks like I need to give Tek a call :thumright:

I went and saw tek 2 nights ago, he set me up right! 130 jb to a wind on. He is very good at what he does and stears you in the right direction. He has all the gear you need! I picked up a jap ball and some other stuff. And can't wait till the bite starts picking up again!!

Tek: I'll give you a call soon so I can learn a little more on these jap balls. :razz:

Just wanted to thank everybody for the thoughtful responses. Looks like I'm going with the 130JB with a top shot to be determined. Tek's going to take care of it.... Now I just have to reinforce some rod holders and go fishing. Hope I get a chance to give em a workout.

good choice all around, sorry for using the last bit of 130 Tek had! I'm sure he will have some in a few days!

What Lb top shot? I would imagine 100 yards?

I should have a funky fresh batch of 40,000 yards coming this week. Just in time for the new line winder....

Nice! Now you just need to open up a.... :lol:

Can you apply pressure to the spool without using a glove on that unit?

JahMussa · 09-15-2006, 11:39 AM

I'm working on it....

There are two versions.. one with a braking system that will apply pressure and one that doesn't. The one that doesn't will need you to apply pressure to the side of the spool.
