I’ll definitely be testing the proteus this weekend against some big GT’s, I was always curious about this particular rod so I finally bought one. If you ever have the opportunity, look into a Zenaq Tobizo or the carpenter monster hunter, I can say with absolute surety you won’t be sorry, those rods will outlive you and then some, the size to power ratio is unreal. Good luck with the setup, nice!

@speeddemon6603 2 жыл бұрын

was your drag locked (on max)? I just bought a 4000 which has the same drag, and I am considering using it for striper in New England, but I don't know what max size fish it can handle. I already have a penn slammer 6500 HS and a 4500 Daiwa bg, but the Penn is on the bigger side for the cape cod canal and in my opinion not needed. I can do the job with less but I don't know if the 4000 bg mq is too little.

I pack my spools extremely tight so braid doesn't dig in. I'd only use backing on a big conventional. Also having 50lb braid on this setup it doesn't dig in much if spooled properly.

To me the 20 Saragosa is a better reel with excellent drag sound and sealing but it is more expensive. The BG feels cheap and I'm a Daiwa guy

@ScottMikles 3 жыл бұрын

I have both. It may feel cheap because it's so lightweight. The BG MQ 6k is only 15 ounces. I've wrestled some massive fish to the boat with it as well as 6ft+ sharks. It's had drag pulled when fully locked out a lot and feels just as smooth and solid. It's a unit. If it had shown any weaknesses I wouldn't like it. I'm absolutely impressed with the BG MQ. And my Saragosa.

This combo was recommended on some website and it did not disappoint me. The reel is smooth, the drag click is pretty cool cause i think it adds to the excitement of fighting the fish, personally the drag is my favorite part. I use braid and 300 yards will fill the entire spool. This combo is my main setup from now on although I have to disclose I am new to fishing.
