I am pretty keen on a 7/8 for light saltwater and am wondering how the drag will hold up in salt.

Thanks

That's funny, I listed as a stockist but I have never heard of the brand.

Just looked a bit deeper, David Levene (ex Stealth) is behind it, so don't take warranties too literally as he is VERY old.

Not sure what age has to do with warranty, but anyway.....I heard that Daniel Factor has taken over the total management of the company. If that is true, then there should be no problem, as Dan is young, energetic, and a lakka dude.

It looks like a nice reel. Very similar to several other imported reels from the East, so its not going to be much different from the average run of the mill cheapie reel. It will work well and do the job. I wouldn't be too concerned about warranties, as the reel could probably be replaced for less than the hassle value. The reel that I imported directly from China cost me less than the postage and it seems to work well.

Yes Stealth. I heard it as a rumour so I cannot confirm if it is true or not. I cannot re call who said it to me.

Just had to clarify,thanks. If its true then it may not be in full effect just yet I think. I was in contact with Stealth yesterday.

He probably just comes fishing with you during the week, what a job! :tongue:

Hi guys.
So has anyone fished it yet? Caught some decent fish and numbers yet? In the past I would have grabbed the opportunity to try these budget reels, but after 3Tand episode recently, I have opted to wait a year.

P.s
Should be interesting in this segment as the Xplorer guide 3, Stealth X, and now MG fulls it.
