Shimano Tekota / Star Delux Rods Wire Line Combos

Worked great. Love the line counter option

The Star rod works wonderfully for bunker spoons (I suspect equally well for most wire lining crankbaits). The Tekota 800 did it's job smoothly. I give this review 4 stars because the 800 is larger than I needed, the 700 would have been a better fit. Unfortunately the 700 isn't available as a combo and the price reduction made it hard to pass up. With 100 yards of 40 lbs Dacron backing and 300' of 40 lbs monel I filled the spool only about half full. I'm going to reload the backing in an effort to bring the wire closer to the top of the spool.

this reel is great . it is super smooth and has a great quality feel to it
