I'm considering buying the 10/11 size Igma and would appreciate general comments but particularly ones on backing line capacity when using 65' - 68' head spey type lines.
Ta in advance.

I've only had a shot of someone elses to try out a line for all of about an hour. It seemed a good functional reel for the money. Build quality good - not exceptional (ie. the fisnish wasn't overly resistant to scratching by the look of it, and there was slight play between the spool and the spindle). The one I used had a 75ft head and looked to have reasonable backing, but that was only a visual inspection.
All in all, from my short trial, I would say that it was a robust, functional reel, with a good drag.
ps - there are fish being caught on the Leven, you don't have time to be a tackle tart just now!

The only reason that I paid attention to the reel, is that I thought it was a nice reel and expected it to be a good deal more expensive. When I checked the price I almost bought one myself, but can't justify it at the moment.  |
