All these sites you see guys catching 30+kg GT's, and what do they say you catch these GTs with? $1000 reels, because these are the only reals that will catch these fish right? It seems like one big advertisment saying, buy this reel and you can catch fish like this.
whats confusing me is, i can totally respect and understand paying $1000-$2000 for something like a penn international or a Shimano Tiagra, where you can see its well worth it when your pulling out a 500kg+ marlin, where you have a good drag system, dual speed and you have that security of knowing the reel will do its job, but with a spinning real? is it really the same?
I guess its something i will never understand why someone would pay that much money, i guess i dont catch 30kg GTs on my week ends to really know?
But if i did i think my penn would do just fine
