Daiwa SS whisker Tournament reels.

Said it before, everyone I fish with gets a squeaky bum moment most seasons and none of them are reckless ( wandering away from rods etc)
My friend who fishes locked up was all smug with his latest butt grips, but it didn't stop the banksticks with buzzer bars getting ripped out of soft ground 🤣
Invariably it's modest fish that gets a rod, bigger fish seem to pull rather than snatch.
I think it’s just them tear away idiots hanging round in the swale Paul. I’ve caught plenty from other rivers but them lot in the swale always seemed to pull that bit harder.
 
Digging this back up anyone use an ss750 for a float reel ? The rod being a 1lb 12ft mark tunley specialist float 5/6lb line
 
I have paired my FS 15 up with SS2600. Really balances it out well. I like the bigger spool, carbon drag and winding power better than than a 4000D that I used. Only had half a dozen barbel so far and they are staying on the rods.
 
TDR 3010 for me
Like John I paired it up with the free spirit hi s 15ft and it’s a great match (300g reel)

I especially like the 2 inch diameter spools.
 
Out of interest what would a nearly new condition as 750 fetch these days ? There is barley a mark on it.
It does still have the spool clicker on. Not far of 10/10
