Brushhog. Tel this dude to shove his club. I personally know a Protea Bass angler who uses rods and reels that do not cost more then R400 .... for both rod and reel. He doesn't even use flouro. He says he you can feel a bite with mono u shouldn't be fishing.
I have a wide range a rods and reels, from R500 combo to a R4000 combo. I still use and old nexave 2pc rod with and old cresfire reel and it catches just as many fish as my Jonny Morris does.
I know that better equipment does make a difference in comfort and convidence but I can promise you the fish doesn't wonder how expensive the tackle is b4 it gobbles up your bait!
My 2c...

Where did you fish today? Popped in at Doordekraal but your car wasn't there? Fischer?
i was in waterfall today so i decided to pop in at crow tackle today...he had a red and black reel behind the counter waiting for collection...so i took a new loomis rod put them on to see what they feel like...one thing that did impress me was the way the spool spins when you free spool it...the reel handle feels tooo heavy for the reel...and the reel seat needs to be lowered so that the reel doesnt sit so high on the rod...unfortunately lionel had no stock of the 9 bearing high speed ones so i cant get to try it out on the water.
for the price you pay its not a bad reel...but there is no comparison between this reel and high end reels...this is just my opinion.

I am actually waiting for 2 to come.
I fished with the 9 bearing one and the 6 bearing one while I was down in KZN and I totally loved it. I could buy 2 reels and 2 rods for R200 more than what I would pay for a Johnny Morris Signature series reel alone. I am actually going to replace most of my stuff with those. They just feel better and do the same job and they are available locally where as my Johnny Morris stuff is all from the US. So getting parts are a bit of a mission. So I will test those two reels in some serious tournament fishing over the next year and see how they hold up
