OKUMA EPIX
Has any one out there in Ausfish used or seen a okuma epix in 50-60 size range.Looking to put one on 7 foot 6-8 kg spinning rod.Have Penn 650 at presant.It's robust but lacks the speed of a TSS4 or the epix 60.Will be filling it with 14-20 pound braid.
cheers george.

Re: OKUMA EPIX
Hi George.
I saw a Okuma Epix EBS60 on Saturday and I own and use an EBS30. Great reels, very smooth in all depts and the 5 year warranty is hard to beat. Mine gets a hammering in saltwater conditions but with proper care it has never had a problem (care is wash in warm soapy water, rinse then liberal sprays of Inox in the right places).
I'm thinking of putting this model (EBS60) on a Wilson Live Fibre spin stick later this year if I get an opportunity to go north to the Gulf.

Hi Krazy
Got rid of the tss4 because it wobbled like a bugger, very unbalanced. Have seen an epix 40 size after 3 months solid use at the cape. Still smooth,still looks good.
ps been pretty good, don't think I've cheesed many people off this week. The wife has gone mad with putting on photo's in the competion. She has finally worked out how to scan under 100kb.
John has ordered more koolabungs.
Cheers
George

TDX6000HIAU 12BB+2RB 5.7:1 470/20, 320/30
that would do the job only one problem about $550us
but the other one that I like is the daiwa emblem x 5500 122cm retrieve per turn(120cm for the epixefs80)with 5:1 gearing.It features Daiwa's anti-backlash system, twist-buster line roller and an infinite anti-reverse. 270m of 10kg
and good to see you getting rid of that shimano stuff
