Biomaster SWA XG thoughts?
Submitted by Formerathlete on Wed, 2014-04-23 16:42
Hi all,
Anyone own or has used a Shimano Biomaster SW A XG? (2014 catalogue)
I'm considering the 5000 SW A XG to use on an Assassin Amia 11' spin rod.
The reel specs sound great - gear ratio 6.2:1, 11kg drag and weighs only 315g but I wouldn't mind getting feedback.
Cheers

Perfect size reel
That's a perfect size reel with a good fast retrieve , I would run 20lb braid for maximum casting distance.
