    Penn Spinfisher 850. I use 24kg on mine and it works a treat. They were built bullet proof but are a bit agricultural by many of todays standards. Run the HT 100 Drag washer dry with a touch of grapgite if you want max drag. I run mine wet with a little Erskine grease and can pull 8kg with no worry.

    They must be some BIG Bullies to be chasing with that sort of gear. Most people use 10kg.

    I don't know Benny. I qam yet to hear any problems with the newer Spinfishers but everyone is a bit cautious about them. This might be a great test for them
