I had very specific details about what I wanted and needed this rod to do in order to handle the main quarry that I intend to use it on. After several conversations and a ton of research on his part, he found what he thinks will be the perfect blank!

TFO BVK II Super Large Arbor Reel - Moss Green |
Temple Fork Outfitters claims this reel will hold 200 yards of 20lb of backing and WF6F line. Most other reels that I found only held around 100 yards. On top of the great line capacity, the reel only weighs 4.9 ounces!!!
I can't wait to put this thing to the test and once the Carp Slayer is complete, I will have several reviews coming.
Until then.....

TFO makes some killer reels, can't wait to see what Ed whips up.
ReplyDeleteMe neither!!
ReplyDeleteThat is one nice reel, and just wait until you get on of them 20 or 30pounders, that fight like heck on spin tackle.
ReplyDeleteI can see you on the river and just seeing your line zoom out of your reel so fast, and you can't do anything...now that's a fight.
Hope this combo slays em.
That is a really sweet looking reel. Cant wait to see the Rod that is going with it!
ReplyDeleteThe balance on the this reel with the 6 wt should be perfect for carp and larger bass using a size 4 popper--I really like the looks of that reel.
ReplyDeleteBe sure and have him put a fighting butt on that 6 weight! Even fairly small carp wear out your wrist pretty good without a fighting butt.
