daiwa 3500 reel Spinning SWEEPFIRE SR – BanzaiHobby Daiwa BG 3500 5.7:1 Spinning

Because the spool spins, using the weight of the lure and the anglers motion to pull it out, any change in speed can have a deleterious impact

Soft vibes revolutionised barra (and salmon) fishing many years ago and still out-fish all other alternatives at times, whilst paddle-tailed soft plastics and prawn imitations have huge followings due to ongoing and constant success

The drag performed well as I was able to snag a 14-inch slab which made a hard initial run under some submerged wood

It had little difficulty working relatively large, powerful fish from 50m of water

Pro Tip: Turn the line alarm off when casting or retrieving to avoid unnecessary wear on the reel
