Fin-Nor Lethal LT100 reel
Hey guys
I am looking at buying a large spin reel for boat fishing after a 20kg+ Sambo nearly killed my Pflueger Salt 50 on Anzac day! haha!
So have browsed a few online stores and saw the Fin-Nor Lethal LT100. Anyone using the Fin-Nor Lethal LT100 spin reel and your thoughts on it?
Specs:
LETHAL FEATURES
• Aluminum body and side plate
• Multi-stack MegaDrag™ with carbon fiber washers
• Forged and machined aluminum spool and drag knob
• MegaLock™ anti-reverse
• MegaShield™ multi-layer corrosion protection
• 6 Double-shielded stainless steel bearings
Lethal 100-size reel adds a triple-supported spool shaft, a forged brass main gear and a back-up pawl and ratchet anti-reverse.
A fish in the hand is worth 10 in the water!

Alan Hawk posted his review for this reel only a couple of days ago. http://www.alanhawk.com/reviews/lth10.html
Sounds like a top reel for the money.

Stated as 20.4 kgs
But the Alan Hawk review has it smoothly peeling off drag at 23 kg
Sounds impressive

if this helps. I have a finor 8500 off shore spin as a second reel. It's a bloody winch, it has pulled in alot of big fish. I think they retail for around the 200 mark.

I haven't seen them at retailers but comparing the Offshore series to online stores, it's about 20-25% more in prices. I'll be buying mine from anglerswarehouse

look at the finnor offshore
look at the finnor offshore series also mate..
For the money, are great reels although quite heavy!
I actually own about 8 of them and haven't had a problem with any!
Usually pickup the biggest 9500 for $195 or less.
Getaway outdoors usually has sales and drops price down to around $149 ish..
EDIT#.. Sorry.. just saw that offshore series was already mentioned!!
