Blackfish Jig Reel

[Gerry Zagorski]

Only issue I have with this reel is the anti reverse mechanism which does not work sometimes when cold. It's a fairly common issue and the problem is that this is a dry mechanism and if any oil or grease gets in there when it's cold it tends to stick. You need to take it apart and clean any oil or grease out of the mechanism and you're good to go.

You may look a Daiwa Ballistic , I use the 3500 and 4000 ! They are tough and smooth drags with more then enough power to best tog !
They are very light with good size spools and oiling system that will not allow oil to thicken in cold weather thus making reel hard to operate !

I've heard the same about the Ballistic as well and Daiwa has come a long way with their newer lines..
