Thread: Which reel for flicking slugs?

    Re: Which reel for flicking slugs?

    Az,
    I have the 4000 symetre with 10lb Fins braid......never had a wind knot. ever. I also have a Diawa samurai 7i 4000 with 15lb penn mariner mono and it has suffered from wind knots after repeated casting i think the spool was too full but will get better with time (after ripping off the top 30-40 m of knotted line ). I think the braid (Not fused) is definatly the go.
    cheers, roo.

    PS. the braid outcasts the mono on these reels by a country mile!!!
