Sweet baitcaster. Larry Dahlberg is throwing heavy pencils and swimmers to mahi and tuna? Wow:drool: Anyone ever use or know about this reel?

Man that is a sweet reel, powerful to hold up to that tuna too. How much do they go for?

Online around 5 bills. I have seen them as low as $475 new. Never fished one though

Cool reel, Larry Dahlberg seemed to really like it.
Not my thing, I'm a spinning reel guy.

just sold mine too heavy IMO for a baitcaster weighs 23 ounces didn't balance well and is more a boat reel. I just replaced it with the new Calcutta 400D which IMO is much better suited as an all around reel and its $100. less and can cast plugs well
