It would also prompt me to build a nice 7’ ul rod to go with it. Or maybe just buy the combo. As I teeter on the edge of that rabbit hole……….
I’m holding off on the Presso until I’ve received and tried out the Abu Garcia Beast I ordered.
I’d love to fish a 5 oz 1000 size reel for a couple hours. It’d probably spoil me and I wouldn’t touch my other reels .
It’s hard to imagine a reel being that much better.
I feel You can buy a reel for a $100 today that would have cost three or four times as much ten years ago.
