| Did you see the bay jigging model has 10kg drag and a power handle (nice little jig reel for a 100grm jig rod). |

| would be but to much for a softbait reel - will match the pluton to a saltiga bay jigging overhead when they arrive for my ultimate softbait setup |

That Pluton sounds porno and looks porno too mate Got the same handle design as the Pluton on my Advantage 153HTSA. They're the same as the Millionaire range handles.  ------------- What's the cheapest type of meat? Dear balls. They're under a buck. |

I bought the left hand version off Phats. Goes mint with the 10lb Power Pro on it. The Tierra 701 rod I bought for it is a bit of a broomstick, but will have to do for the meantime.

14.5lbs and the pluton is 10.5 pounds, the 5:2:1 pluton has about 13lbs drag i think. But im more then happy with 5kg of drag for my softbait reel |

Bloody nice reels those plutons alright, how much for the certate, I will put a bid in now before they become old reels

certates never getting sold, just upgrading, certates getting a kojak gfx 7, sold the citica 200E combo to get the pluton and probably a saltist or saltiga bay jigging rod, and sold the saltiga 20 to get a PE5 and Jm 300 getting tooooooollllled up for the softbait comp

Not bad, I like the SLSHB's colour better, even though they aint softbait reels I could force one into it, that bit of blue & the handle just takes the pluton out of boring though. Hi ho hi ho its off to gofish I go just for a little nosey

Its a 200 size round baitcaster offcourse its a softbait reel a softbait reel with BALLS probably to much reel for you to handle monty im sure dale could handle one no worries to tame the bigger fish she gets |

Give it few more months and stellas will be $1100 ...dont knock the branzino ya muppet its a killing machine |

| So whos got one of these and how do you find it? Looking at one as a bit of an all round reel but mainly used for softbait fishing. Keen to hear how they go! |
Posted By: of2fsh
Date Posted: 08 Aug 2010 at 10:29pm
|
if your fishing light line around 6pd they are fine,if anything heavier they havent got the balls to stop a fish...beautiful reel to use, nice finish and very smooth.

| the Sh didnt have enough drag the 5:1 speed reel has the drag needed, amazing reel strong and super smooth |
Posted By: BBFisha
Date Posted: 09 Aug 2010 at 9:20am
| Fair dinkum. if you had your time over again would you still get the Pluton but the 5:1 H? Only has a couple more lbs of drag according to the Daiwa website. Keen on this real but dont want something that is going to leave me short. I like the look/price of the Luna if it wasnt gold.... |
Posted By: Carbine
Date Posted: 14 Aug 2010 at 1:09am
| i would yeah, can always carbontex the drags if you still dont feel you have enough, 6kg is heaps of drag to put over most softbait rods. |
Posted By: EarlyRiser
Date Posted: 14 Aug 2010 at 7:55am
| did a quick test on the H model and straight out of the box it did 5kgs no problems. |
Posted By: BBFisha
Date Posted: 15 Aug 2010 at 4:25pm
| Interesting. Kinda torn between the Luna and the Pluton although I really like the look of the Pluton. These hard decisions! What rod do you have your Pluton on Carbine? |
