Review of the Fin-Nor Lethal LT60

                              


Hey guys, sorry I've been reluctant to post but my scedule has been super hectic. Thankyou for sticking around and being patient with me. I promised a reel review on the Shimano Stradic FJ but lately I've been so impressed by the Fin-Nor Lethal LT60 I had to feature this reel first. This is my secondary reel(backup) but every time I use this reel I'm more and more impressed, for the 100$ price tag this reel can't be beat. With a carbon fiber mega drag system and 30lbs of drag this reel is a true work horse. With an all aluminum corrosion resistant body it's lightweight but stacked with power. Having 7 double shielded stainless steel bearings it has a very smooth line retrieval. I've put the Lethal up against big fish in heavy current and it held strong. The more I use this reel the more I like it and I would definitely purchase another.

Reel review Penn Spinfisher 6500 SSV

               
  This reel is a great " bang for your buck" reel. With a max drag of 30lbs and a line retrieval of 39inches per crank it has enough speed to put a real whoop in' on big fish. Myself I've caught 100 pound tarpon  40" snook and grouper on this reel and it held strong. With a weight of 21.3 ounces it's not the most light weight reel in the game, but the things a tank with a full metal body it pretty much just won't die. Holding up to 280 yards of 50lb braid it has great line capacity for when you do hook those monster fish and the drag power to back it up. Another great addition to this reel is the water tight seals. This would be a great reel for anyone fishing offshore or a kayak angler. The Spinfisher is made for abuse and won't cry over a little splash of water here and there.with 5+1 bearing and a 5:6:1 gear ratio this reel means business. And will stop at nothing to keep bringing in the fish for you.  Stray tuned for my next reel review of the Shimano Stradic FJ 6000. Tight lines everyone!
