The only gripe I have with this reel is the weight, but that goes with the size of the reel kzfaq.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I brought this salmon fishing up in Oswego, NY. I coupled it with a Cabela's Whuppin Stick. I had no problem pulling in a 14lb salmon. I will probably use this for surf fishing this summer and downgrade to a 3500 series Battle II next salmon season to save my wrists. All of the operations are butter smooth and the bail is nice and thick and has a solid flip to it. Everything about this reel is sturdy and strong. The drag system held up to the salmon and was also super smooth. I did use a scale to set the drag properly before going out to the river and this worked out tremendously. A bunch of other guys on the river would hook up and snap almost immediately. Just because you have a good drag system doesn't do anything if you don't set it correctly.

Here in Scotland Atlantic mackerel (Scomber Scombrus) are highly regarded as a food and as a bait fish. They are gaining yet more popularity as it it more widely advertised that they have twice the Omega 3 oil of salmon. We like them fresh, smoked, salted or made into pate. They also make a very good bait for crab or prawn creels.

I saw a handful of good sized fish jumping out of the water at Pacifica Pier on Wednesday, but I didn't know they were mackerel until my dad sabiki'd one up. I didn't think they got so close to shore! There have been a lot of bait fish (anchovies) near shore the last week, so I guess it makes sense that even slightly larger predators like mackerel are chasing them too.

I think people forget how big mackerel used to get in the UK before they were overfished. The rod caught records from boat and shore were both over 6lbs. As a teenager in the late 60s I caught a 3lb 9oz mackerel on a trout spinning rod. Most of the mackerel now are well under 1lb in weight.
