The reels I use and sell are made by one of the largest fishing companies in Thailand (RS Group) and have proved themselves in the market since 2000. One of the benefits of using these reels is the easily obtainable and well priced parts available in New Zealand.
Parts for me over the years has been a continual headache with other brands.
The reels are all quality stainless inside, built like brick $%^#houses and have dual carbon drag which gives incredible stopping power. They are lightweight, robust and a pleasure to use.
Throw into the mix that the are often half the price of some well known brands, and used exclusively by charter companies its a no brainer to try them out.
