I'm fishing now with a millionaire and a shimano multiplier, I'm still not up to distance but then I don't have a large rod rung for multi yet, that's on the way. I still haven't used the 6500 but then I am getting nicely up to speed on the other ones. I can go out for a session now and not birdie up at all and I don't need the rubber finger protectors anymore on them either.
Coming on nicely I'd say. I'd advise anyone making the switch over to do what I did, start with a cheap reel for lures and the basics of multi use, then when you have the basics down move onto more advanced hardware and step up the rods. The best pairing I have at the moment is the millionaire with a Viking Mustad lite 116. I'm really enjoying the precision of fishing on multi and reckon I'm a complete convert now, I was using a fixed spool on the girlfriends enticer recently and was bugged by the loops feeding out and slapping sloppily against the rings when I was fishing. Another thing I found brilliant with the multi line feed was when float fishing I was able to feed line from reel level and it was going right out the tip ring and not being lost in coils before it even got through the bottom ring.
I'm happy enough with the distances I'm getting now on the multis when casting for fishing too, so it's going well thanks.
