Hi still looking a jerkbait reel for my wee rod.
Took all advice and looked at loads.
Does anyone use the low profile reels, read a few good write ups about john wilsons six shooter reel .
would this be any good for saltwater as all material is about pike.
it gets used for plugs after pike so just woundering would it do same for plugs for pollock ,bass
six shooter reel any ideas

cheers for that liam. there straight forward enough to replace are they. started using it for light bass work with the carp rod recently. perfect together. the only thing is that its one of the origionals from about 25 years ago. was given to me by an old friend of mine. do you know if this makes a difference

six-shooter
changing the bushels for bearins is not that easy,the reel youre
talking about the john- wilson six-shooter, is perfect for the job
team it up with braid, and casts well in excess of 100 yards are
easily possible, plus you can aquire a left or right wind model.
