Its the SL-X40HA = 4.9:1 gears You get a little more leverage on the fish. SL-X40SHA = 6.1:1 gears. ---------------------------------- I am partial to 7' Ugly Stick Tiger Rods. $59 - $64 They make a 30-60 class rod that I really like. Its got good back bone, and throws iron good too. This one.... BWC 2202 70 7'0" 1pc. B MH 30-60lb. lure weight 3/4-8oz. Guides 8 + Tip Fuji Guides, Fuji Graphite reel seat w/stainless cushioned hoods. Read about them Here ->http://www.shakespeare-fishing.com/index_rods.html They sell them at Sports Authority, Walmart, Kmart ,Big 5, etc. But I don't think Squidco carries them. Call and ask Joey.

Sealine
Since I am now an expert because I have caught one (1) yellowtail, I can report that it was on a Sealine 40 size. It was the older model, but I also have the newer one that you pictured. I paired it up with a Kencor 7'6" Kayak rod rated for 40 lb. line. I got it on sale but it usually goes in the 70 - 80 dollar range I think. It feels like a good rod.

I got the sealine 40 highspeed. This thing seems nice for the money. I was hucking lead in the park by my house pretty darn far....much further than the old Penn reels I was using before.

Its a great reel I own (3) of them. They are my favorite for the kayak.
The 30 class reel spooled with #25 mono can really fling some iron. ------------------------ They work best when they are not vigorously washed. ![]() If you do wash down your reels use only a light spray of water |

I have two Sealines, one with 30lb test and one with 20lb test. Loved the bigger one for fishing in the ocean off SD County and now off the Oregon coast, the smaller model I use for salmon and sturgeon in the Columbia River.
The only thing I don't like is the gold plating wears off from sticking the rigs below deck in my kayak.

If you can wait 2 months until the Fred Hall Show you might get some good deals. About 3 years ago Daiwa made some changes to the Sealine. Most of the tackle shops were blowing out their old models before the new ones came out. There were some excellent deals to be had. I think I bought 5 Sealines at the LB and SD shows.
