I wanna know just one thing....... when your trolling along and one of these monsters wacks your bait.......... does your rod go Shabamalama ding dong and then break, or does the reel just glow red until it explodes into thin air? :smash:
Yankem, no.....neither the reel nor rod fails when it's a big, metal frame reel like an Avet 50 on a Calstar or Seeker rod rated for 130 lb line.

Now the Shimano TLD's with the graphite frame, yes they snap right off.
