I got a new Abu Garcia reel at xmas from the father, brought me into the shop and I picked it out, 90euro so not bad, but now im wondering, will my Abu Garcia rod and reel hold up against a Tope or something nice and big. The rod is from the stigma model and i cant remember the model the reels from but i wanna know will a fixed spool be enough for bigger fish or should it be left for makeral and bass fishing?

Fixed spool reels are able to handle bigger fish too, if you had the reel size and Model it would help people give you a better answer

I know lads who have pulley in tope with a good fixed spool.just let the rod do the work not the reel

Just make sure to have your drag set properly

Loads of lads have caught tope on a fixed spool,once it has plenty of line good strong quality components and a lad that hasn't got two left hands on the other end ur set
