Look at the Ryoga 1016, I prefer it over my HLC.

Got mine matched to a CBR802, and it feels nice. Not sure what poundage the 847 are though..

I talked to a few guys and they said I'd wanna be using 30-50lb braid? So I was looking through the new split grip GLXs and found this one 15-25lb what you think? Calcuttas any good or is that te hole daiwa vs toga debate haha?! I had a look for ryogas on eBay this morning and couldn't find any in Australia but that will obviously change in the next 2 months.

Get a tranx
Im considering it atm

Tranx I have no idea what that is nags haha

How about a Pluton 2020?
It's pretty much the Ryoga without the handle bearings and drag clicker. I think it may have stronger gears in it as well but is a little heavier than the Ryoga 2020.

Those tranxs are absolute beasts! They can fit something like 425 yds of 50lb on it. Watched a video of guys using them for tuna in the us. And not small Tuna either

The tran x is the new big baitcaster from Shimano! Get with it dude you're slipping hahaha! It's an offshore low profile model.
Cheers matt

That thing is huge does it look massive though? Haha yeah $475 was trying to hold out on something $350ish was thinking a Calcutta just to get me buy up there! I'll be taking up a 7'7 bronze back 7-17lb with a create 3500.
BSR 852 GLX with Stella 3000 and then for the bait caster! Tranx looks sick but for its price I may aswell buy a Calcutta cOnquest know what I mean. Are low profile bait casters better for up there than drum type bait casters ?

As squidgy said though curado might be a good option just want a few people's opinions

I have a daiwa saltist HRF and it has never failed me in saltwater, snooth reel and theb the spare money can go to line and lures

The new calcuttas are nice reels, you can get them for around $350 I think from TW pro bass fishing in the states.

X2 for the Daiwa Saltist HRF,I have had one for around 7 years,use it for Barra,Cod Snapper,Jew and Jacks,tough as,I usually rotate my gear every 18months to 2 years and I have found no need to do this with the HRF.

Yeah tranx is looking pretty good 25lb of drag!!! Curado is also another choice I just wonder if it will balance out alright any one know if they have the split grips in Australia yet?
