Very nice reel mate, remember to tighten the drag when you wipe it down after a day in the salt and loosen the drag off to store until the next session.

It will serve you well for the species you list, has a lovely smooth drag and crank action. Just a single drop of oil into the port is all that is needed, every 4-5 sessions, too much oil will be detrimental.

thanks alot mark,
wot type of oil do you recomend??
any other tips on how to look after the reel???

cheers again

You will get a small container of oil with the reel, and a tiny amount of lubricant on the hinge points will also help, (both ends of the bail arm and the fold point of the handle).
