Thanks for the quick follow up Cal. That is good to hear.

Thanks.

Yes Cal, thats the one. Most we get here are good to swing a blade off, but, the ring itself is not attached to anything substantial and pull out under the weight of a good fish. Thanks for the quick response.

Cal, any chance you could check how well the custom hook hanger is attached ? Some similar attachment points are not very secure and pull out quite easily as they are only set into the lead weight and not firmly attached to the hook itself. Thanks.

Thanks Cal. Been waiting for this since the pictures appeared in earlier tests. Lovely sounding reel.
