Deps is famous for swimbaits so i guess that is the market.toddmc wrote:What is their targeted market/species for this reel? We use this reel in the slower ratios for mid-sized swimbaits in the the U.S. The 8.4 ratio sure won't be preferred for this. I don't think that this reel is study enough to grind on big fast moving fish over long periods of time. I am curious to know how the Asian market uses this reel.
It would be interesting to see what a few big pike and musky caught on swimbaits from your neck of the woods will do to this reel. There is probably some new type of jigging in Japan that I am unaware of that they are going to do with this reel. Damn, I've already got too many JDM lures. I can't afford a lure category.cndbasshunter wrote:Deps is famous for swimbaits so i guess that is the market.toddmc wrote:What is their targeted market/species for this reel?

We wouldn't even look at this reel. Tranx and Conquest 300 minimum. The inertia from the Strike would rip the reel from the rod.toddmc wrote:It would be interesting to see what a few big pike and musky caught on swimbaits from your neck of the woods will do to this reel.

Are the deps reels known for having flakey paint jobs(pun intended)? I can't remember them having issues.Mike and Pike wrote:Musky use...no. Too fast/not powerful enough.
See if the paint on this latest Z actually holds and then after the price drops ad a set of lower gears.
Not a musky reel at all as it sits, 100mm handle or not.
1. Ultra high precision ยท High strength super metal housing adopted
I think these guys set no drag and flip them into the boat. You can catch giant GT with the smallest size Saltiga, so muskie should be no problem.goldrod wrote:What do you mean not a musky reel? You can catch a musky on an aldebaran.
