shimano tld 20 two speeds with the standard bearing service.  the oversized handle grips are my own made of delron and stainless steel.  the reels are spooled up with 400 yards of 130 pound hollow core spectra (just because that is what i had laying around) and a 20 meter topshot of 60# monofilament.  drags were set to a very light 12 pounds because these fish are pretty small.

Nice. I like that double rod holder set up going into the gunnel mounts that you running there.
