    My guess since you asked - Daiwa SL30SH (probably the best reel there )

It was stripped down, drag washers all hand lapped and the Shimano fibre washers chucked out for Smoothies. This real is the Fighting Star version with near lever drag speed to wind it up. On the Calstar custom made by Leon at Rodworks (now no longer) it's a combo I love. Kings and big snaps no worries. Best snapper I ever caught went 22lbs and I horsed it all the way to the boat as I thought it was just another rat kingi.
    Ha!

    Same videos (actual VHS) were responsible for my Penn 45GLS lever drag. I thought I was the man rolling that badboy!!!!

    I can't remember what rod it was matched too but the combo must have weighed in the region of 4.5 million kgs.

    Caught my biggest snap on it when I was about 14. 24 lbs Took over a decade to beat that PB.

    Edit: just remembered. Penn Powerstick. Glass blank. Similar feel/sensitivity to a length of stainless steel. And about the same weight

    Show us your Fishing gear

    Couple of Shimano Big Baitrunners
    Wish I could say they get a lot of work. On 16' Okuma surf rods when not in a plastic box. Cast well with the tapered shock leader and a long cast pulley rig Gary Kemsley style.

    Too many rods and reels there are only 10 rod holder on the boat and don't get me started on the 200 Marlin lures I have.

    Show us your Fishing gear

    Yep.....1 or 2.....





    Funny thing is I do 99% of my fishing with the soft bait setup on the far right of the top photo, it's a Team Daiwa Redback with Shannon Curado 200G7.

    And the pink one is the wife's, just to clear that up!

    Bait and burley dinosaurs still roam the open seas it seems

    The A-team:

    - Mechanical jigging: Jigstar rod + Avet reel
    - Heavy slow jigging: Shimano Revolution + Abu Garcia 6501
    - Light slow jigging: Ocean Angler Bender + Abu Garcia 4601
    - Microjigging/softbaiting: Explorer XT rod + Shimano Stradic Ci4+ 2500



    Plus a shit load of game fishing gear, bottom fishing rods, surf rods and freshwater gear that rarely gets used.

    Nice!

    Might need to get some advice about skis from you shortly, looking at getting one in the next month or two.

    What ski are you using?

    Thanks.

    Ask away. I have a 2015 Yamaha FX HO. Purchased from BOI Marine. I think Marine North sell them too now, plus there is a Seadoo dealer in Whangarei.
