The blue one at the bottom looks pretty flash aye. I saw some videos on youtube of the guys from jiggingmaster jigging sambos out from rotto with these reels on shikari.
Any feedback?

Hey Blake,
I have the above reel and it hasn't faulter on me, i have caught some very nice size sambos, shovel nose sharks and others from it and it keeps on taking the punishment. I have yet to fully cane this reel....waiting for the time to do so...
The then only fault i had with it was the reel almost departed from base of the reel, it was due to the base screws had not been securely tighten down (locked in a sesssion with a bloody huuuuuuge stingray). Its all fix now (tighten down) and performs flawlessly, as there are no plastic parts on this reel...very solid engineering.
It has been match up with an oceanside jig master 5'3" 50 - 80lb (solid little broomstick) & the loomis franklin 14 foot (pole volt)
Apart from that, i did see it at Bluewater for $4xx mark, that is now gone...

Haven't Progear gone tits-up? I mean I heard the product was ok, I wanted the Pro Gear Oceanus 30LD for about a week till I saw these snaps.

They claim to have solved that problem and offered warranty replacement on a newer-style body, but if they're out of business now, I guess it doesn't matter.
Honsu: whats this shizz about JM doing their own version of that reel?

They're getting very long in the tooth and would you believe they ship with cork drag washers?
