This most probably be my last bait finesse setup, but...there'll never be another like it.

The reel is about as exclusive as a reel can be... :-#

Not even in the same zip code as the original outfit and pollutes the post. Sorry, someone had to say it.

No one had to say that. You're not nice.

To the OP nice combo. I'm really wanting an is73 with honeycomb spool.

Actually it's a little bit above if it's judged as property :-)
More than meets the eye to it...the way I intended for both rod and reel.
More on both later. But you're right, it needs it's own write-up

Thanks aussiebasser, and all the other kind words. ;)

I have loaded some 8lb mono on the spool. Once I have blooded this combo, I 'll do a little review (especially for the very thin solid tip :shock: ).

Impression so far, this rod could cast very light weight if I use my IS finesse spool instead of the Honeycomb, which is even shallower and lighter weight.

How many YD/m of the above mono were you able to fit on the spool?

By the way, nice combo as well =D>

I have 100m of 8lb mono on the Honeycomb spool. I guess it could hold 10-20m more if you dont mind overloading it a bit.

I think it is just as deep as my SV 105, or slightly shallower. A versatile finesse spool.

With 8#/100m can the honeycomb be seen through the line?

Do you keep 2 bait finesse rigs, one for horizontal, the other for vertical jig type applications?
