Looking For Some Feedback On Any One Who Has Experience (positive Or Negative) With These Reels Out Of Australia. I Need To Gear Up With A 50 And 80 Lb Stand-up Outfits For Some Long Range (east Coast Style) Tuna Fishing For Next Season And These Have An Attractive Price. Any Info Would Be Much Appreciated

Those are sold in Australia but are the same Chinese made units one sees sold in many places under many brand names-always being represented as something other than what they are-cheap copies.

Avoid those things at all costs.:mad:

If budget is an issue then go with a lower priced model from an established manufacturer like Shimano or Daiwa you'll still have a warranty and a service department to back up the units should any problems arise.

I had that gut feeling but every so often something new comes out that gets missed due to "No Name" Was kinda hoping this was one of those Penn Internationals in the rough so to speak. Will move on and look for a few Penns or Newell reels on eBay. Was worth the ask anyway. Thanks again.
