Penn Viper - adjustable reel seat. I like it for Wrasse, Ray, Huss.

That's a fine haul of wrasse. I'd say you've tired arms after those few sessions. Well done on the specimen. Lovely fish.

At one time the adjustable reel seats were available from Veals mail order but they seem to have stopped stocking them now and have gone back to the Penn Talon style reel seat.

Lovely wrasse Bill well done.
