I used the Trinidad 12 Reel last season and really liked it.This reel is light and is a real work horse.You have to make sure you aim your reel at your lure when retrieving and your line stays level on the spool.I have also heard this reel is only good for big blade bucktails.....NOT..... The Trinidad casted Jakes and Depthraiders a mile and reeled in easy and faster than anybody else.You can buy these on EBAY for around 250.00 Make sure you use larger diameter line 100lbs test and do not overfill.
