Was going to use it for trotting. Loaded some line on it put a 3 SSG shot on it, stood on my garage roof and dropped to the line. Even with the shot on the floor, it was still letting out line with the momentum. A very scientific test you would agree
iain, i'm not running your reel down bud....the reason I said it won't make a very good trotting reel is because it'll take you an age to wind back in due to the spool being small'ish and the line lay pillars being low set in it so it will be very slow on line retrieval if you get my meaning.
I hope it works for you but if it doesn't you haven't lost 'ewt and you could use it for margin fishing on stillwaters .
