Wanted Used Daiwa Sealine SHS (super high speed) reels


Recommended Posts

@chowder do you use high speed reels on your long lines?  I picked up a couple cold water 453 high speeds and experimented on lake erie with them.  Caught a big sheephead and it was extremely hard to reel... so I kind of gave up on using them for Kings.  Maybe the Daiwas are better but just curious what your thoughts are on high speed reels in general... thanks

They definitely make it much nicer to clear and check lines, but I could barely move that fish with the boat in motion and it was only 10lb.  

 

I was going to convert my HS reels to use for Lake O rigger meat setups for faster slack line pick up and having less line out to deal with the lower torque.  But even that kind of scares me if a big King were to go on a run.   To your point, maybe a better idea would be to just use for leadcore walleye setups since they don't fight...  maybe that's what Chowder is doing
