Looks like mine has another port or is yours just out of the picture?

Choupique,
I got 5.5mm by ruler on my 103.
You may want to wait for confirmation from other owners though.

Congrats on a your new PB. 10+ lbers are a fish of a lifetime.

Very nice! Those are sure some chunky bass you caught there.

Yes circumference does matter. The gear ratio are approximately the SAME(7:1-7.1:1) for all of these reels so its the circumference that determines how much line is retrieved per turn of the handle. For one turn of the handle, the spool revolves 7 times. The aprroximate amount of line taken up per h...

The Quantum burners are the fastest. The energy burner has a spool diameter of ~37mm which is the largest of the 7.x reels which should mean it is also the fastest. When spooled up to the beveled edge of the spool, I measured 31inches per turn. By comparison the Zillion has a ~36mm spool, Revo ~35m...

Here's that bait--in color # 03.

The ol' standbye, Chartreuse/White, my favorite spinnerbait color.

Nice fish, looks like you had fun.

Are these made in Japan or elsewhere?

Browsing the net and came across these. I take it they are for the Japanese market but anyone know much about them or where to order them? Why do the Japanese have all the cool tackle? :crying: http://www.purefishing.jp/product/abugarcia-cast.html http://www.purefishing.jp/product/abugarcia/cast/yab...

The trout(mostly stocked rainbows) in my neck of the woods really like thomas buoyant spoons and black or olive woolyboogers. I have had 50+ fish days on the woolyboogers. http://media.basspro.com/images/articles/wetflyswing2.jpg http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/content/Item/12/08/31/i120831sq01.jpg

Nice fish. How big do they get in Spain?

Yep it is. Tonym, you know your reels...Its the 2004 finesse model. I chose it over the standard 2000 because it has a ball bearing supported drag to better protect the light line.

Regarding the brake weights. In order from heaviest to lightest. Green,pink, clear.

The curado has the standard stainless bearings while the chronarch has a-rb's. They both handle light baits very well.
