The only gripe I have with this reel is the weight, but that goes with the size of the reel kzread.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I brought this salmon fishing up in Oswego, NY. I coupled it with a Cabela's Whuppin Stick. I had no problem pulling in a 14lb salmon. I will probably use this for surf fishing this summer and downgrade to a 3500 series Battle II next salmon season to save my wrists. All of the operations are butter smooth and the bail is nice and thick and has a solid flip to it. Everything about this reel is sturdy and strong. The drag system held up to the salmon and was also super smooth. I did use a scale to set the drag properly before going out to the river and this worked out tremendously. A bunch of other guys on the river would hook up and snap almost immediately. Just because you have a good drag system doesn't do anything if you don't set it correctly.

Dude! that was insane. Actually seeing the fish take the lure via the drone was absolutely incredible 😮 Nice work!

I do accept the defeat, Of course Briggsy would have already been neck deep in the water ready haha but my mate was flying the drone and I just straight up forgot! Honestly thought he was right behind me to get the fish but when I looked is when I realized I messed up! He was far way and the fish had one last chance to run and won! In hindsight, I should have taken this battle as if I was alone and pulled the fish at the end to the right! Like I said was my fault and yeah sad ending but I will be back! REVENGE 😅

That strike was terrifying bruh! Seeing the line snap was hard to watch -- we appreciate your determination to catch these monsters

Cavy mate, I was just watching an old MT film with you and Briggsy talking about what reels you use and recommend. Back then you had no sponsor support and it was clear you guys were light on cash to spend on expensive gear. I’ve been watching your content for many years now and I have to say I’m so happy to see how far you’ve come and how successful the whole KZread fishing gig has gone for you. Wishing you well and I’m sure 1mil + subs in the near future.

WOW! That drone footage of the hook up was EPIC! What a giant. Great adventure as always!

That was an emotional roller coaster , glad your ok brother. Thank God for your quick reflexes. That GT was an absolute BEAST .. What an epic battle.
