Shimano Tekota 800 Star Delux Rod DLX8/0WL Wire Line Combo Reviews
Nice combo, but a Tekota 700 would have been a great option.

The Star rod works wonderfully for bunker spoons (I suspect equally well for most wire lining crankbaits). The Tekota 800 did it's job smoothly. I give this review 4 stars because the 800 is larger than I needed, the 700 would have been a better fit. Unfortunately the 700 isn't available as a combo and the price reduction made it hard to pass up. With 100 yards of 40 lbs Dacron… read more backing and 300' of 40 lbs monel I filled the spool only about half full. I'm going to reload the backing in an effort to bring the wire closer to the top of the spool.
Great reel
