A couple of light tackle upgrades, baitcaster for the freshies and a '15 Twinpower 4000 for light SW spin.

That reel looks awesome JF ready for combat? They can say of okuma what they want I just got myself 2 trio 40 for spooning for tigers and 1 40 BF for live bait unrivaled stopping power and smooth with the dual dragg system. I still have some of my okuma bass combo rod and reels left from many moons ago all plastic but still working.

Reels have been spooled and lugs fitted. All sorted!

Okuma really stepped up and is now producing top quality gear. Got these at a steal so I'm pretty happy.

Marcos, did you get 30's? How would you rate them against the Tyrnos 30's?

John F · « **Reply #827 on:** July 12, 2015, 07:51:14 PM »

Yes. I got the 30 2 speed special edition. I have the 50w 2-speed and needed the 30s to complete my mid range collection. Which at the moment is composed of 3 x Ti30 and these 2x Makaira 30.

I've very limited experience with the Tyrnos, but have been using the Ti30 for a long time. I'd say the Makaira is on par with the Tiagra (with stronger drag and at a much better price!). It certainly feels more solid and stronger than the tyrnos.

I got mine at R3,250 each! Can't beat that!

I'm gobsmacked at the quality of my 2 Cedros 10 LD reels... craftsmanship is fantastic, solid feel... and one has been tested and found to be smooth as a baby's bum. Both came in at under R2k a piece.

L Hooker · « **Reply #829 on:** July 13, 2015, 10:10:28 AM »

I've got 2x Cedros 20s and 1 x makaira 502speed all are awesome reels , sturdy well made.. Lekker reels those Marcos. I prefer my Cedros too my Tyrnos 30 2 speeds, would have liked the 2 speed option on my Cedros thou!

Are those shimano sticks?? What lengths do they come in, I presume those are shorties being stand ups? Any idea if they do a 7ft

Shot, they look very nice. I am a bit surprised in a full roller for 20lb gear....

Poenie · « **Reply #833 on:** July 13, 2015, 01:01:41 PM »

Guys fishing league for BIG yellowfin on 10kg line all want FULL ROLLERS, but then again, very few fish 20lb rods.

theyare Shimao rods and only have a top roller the code is TLD STP 10A. I'm pairing them with a 2 speed TLD 20 and 30

Rory mundy · « **Reply #838 on:** July 19, 2015, 04:55:21 PM »

what length are those rods they look very nice paired with the tld 2 speeds will be a great package.

I think I might have found the cure guys!!

Ask your doctor to prescribe....2 Small little bottles.

Bottle 1 - GET RIGHT

Used it for 2 weeks..felt better

Bottle 2 - STAY RIGHT

Have been using it for 3 months now...works great!! I now only experience 2 relapses per month! The main thing is I accepted the fact that I am a "Tackle Holic" When i feel the urge comming on, i start with bottle one again. My doctor had the same problem. He still experiences relapses now and then....busy with his final stage at the moment...he opened a tackle shop!! He said I shouldn't worry, I will also get well again.
