Just wanted a little input on a few reels.. What are your thoughts?
Toruim ?
Takota?
I was going to King fish with the reels
I use my Speedmaster for offshore much.. so I really don't need a reel for offshore fishing. Remeber I caught my first Wahoo on my Speed-master spooled with 400+ yards of 20lbs.. It handled it just fine.
I have 2 Speed-Masters and I'm looking to buy two more reels for my business.
I like light tackle but if we get a good fish on then I want a good reel that can handle it.
I was looking at the Tekota's maybe the Tekota 600 for light tackle King fishing. The level wind will help with my clients not being able to put the line back on.
Remember that I'm not tournament fishing most of the kings are in the teens and a few 20 lbers and just a few over 30 lbs each year.

I might also buy a couple of Toruims for bigger fish like Wahoo's and Bigger Kings and like you said Scott. I could bottom fish with it to.

The weight difference in the two is 7oz's, the Torium is a little bigger.
I just thought it would be to much reel for the smaller kings and spaish that I would be catching.
What are your thoughts??
Just wanted some opinions on this. Thanks Capt. John
