New (to me anyway) Okuma Cedros 10S.

Ok you asked for it, it ain't pretty guess which reel isn't a penn. Missing from pic due to being away for servicing penn senator 6/0, penn delmar 285. Other vintage penn reels in the pics 309M and senator 2/0

The gap is where my Shimano TSM 3 should be but I can't find it????
Only one rod photo as I hate taking photos of rods. Shimano T-Curve revolution travel rod. It's the prettiest one. Each reel has one or more rods it is used on and all are loaded with braid. I hate using mono now. Feels like fishing with a rubber band.
Does the photo need to be of the gear out of it's packaging? :D

Doing a fair bit of searching new water with the spin gear and my daughter.
2500's Exage and Alivio. Still want a Stella.
3500 Baitrunner I have had for ever and the Calcutta 250 I bought in Ft Lauderdale which caught heaps of fish in and around the Florida Keys.

I would highly recommend the Stradic. It has performed beautifully. It has the sort of drag that you have to look at the reel to see if line is being pulled off it's that smooth. For the price I don't see how the Stella could be THAT much better.
Love the Calcuttas too.
From left to right
Shimano TLD200 overhead on shimano rod
1000mm Spear gun
Okuma bait runner and okuma 6ft rod
Shimano trynos 30 on a shimano backbone elite rod for the deep sea stuff
Shimano Saragosa 10000 on a kilwell 5"2" jigging rod for the big kings
Shimano Stradic Ci4 4000 on a 20lb backbone elite rod for the big snapper in the tasman bay.

It was stripped down, drag washers all hand lapped and the Shimano fibre washers chucked out for Smoothies. This real is the Fighting Star version with near lever drag speed to wind it up. On the Calstar custom made by Leon at Rodworks (now no longer) it's a combo I love. Kings and big snaps no worries. Best snapper I ever caught went 22lbs and I horsed it all the way to the boat as I thought it was just another rat kingi.

Yeah!!!! Found my TSM 3. (where I usually keep it). Great reels eh @kiwijames. Mine is the narrower version of yours that I bought in the 1980s.
Yep. They're solid reels. Mine has outlasted a couple Daiwa SL reels which are tough to beat. My old man has a TSM3FS that I'm thinking of perking one day. Shame the Hawkes Bay fishing is pretty shit. Plus I dont have a boat anymore.Quote:

I can't remember what rod it was matched too but the combo must have weighed in the region of 4.5 million kgs.
Caught my biggest snap on it when I was about 14. 24 lbs Took over a decade to beat that PB.
Edit: just remembered. Penn Powerstick. Glass blank. Similar feel/sensitivity to a length of stainless steel. And about the same weight
Couple of Shimano Big Baitrunners
Wish I could say they get a lot of work. On 16' Okuma surf rods when not in a plastic box. Cast well with the tapered shock leader and a long cast pulley rig Gary Kemsley style.

Funny thing is I do 99% of my fishing with the soft bait setup on the far right of the top photo, it's a Team Daiwa Redback with Shannon Curado 200G7.
And the pink one is the wife's, just to clear that up!
