Smith Plugger

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

I did some research when the price on Amazon.co.jp went down to 31000 jpy for a day or two.
As far as I can tell, the original spool weighs approx. 22 gram and Avail has a 13.3 gram spool, which fits the reel.
I find the reel quite pretty but there are so many great offerings around. I will save my €$£ for something else.
