Hmmm Rovex?
Submitted by Daisy on Tue, 2008-11-18 21:42
G'day all, just wondering if anyone out there has a recommendation on Jw's Rovex reels. If anyones had and trials and tribulations (be honest) or have really put them through they're paces and come up trumps.
Cheers, Daisy.

We have the Rovex big boss ,5 in total, 7500 & 9500 series
great reels but do need to be regularly cleaned or serviced . Or they become to hard to reel in (lack of matintance main cause ask russ *LOL* ). Have caught double header pinkys around 5 kg each with them, large sambos etc not a problem easy to reel in.

The 18kg mulloway i got on
The 18kg mulloway i got on friday was from a big boss 7500. Never had any problems with the reel but there is certainly better,
