Not sure it was designed to be a heavy hawler! So no big silly power handle needed,
"super tuned" to me says its tuned up for distance work.
A cracking looking reel but the price is way OTT, ill wait for Kstaff to get one... :lol:

Silly power handle. TUT TUT. A reel is for bringing big fish in under load. Thats a right girlie looking yoke with it's titchy handle. Now the original 525 mag that was a man's reel.

Just looked at the picture of it and my wife saw it over my shoulder. Her comment was;

"Oh my God! It's PINK! They are making reels for girls too!"

Enough said!
