diawa 7ht ( blue 0ne)

[FISHERMAN]

what are these reels like over rough ground. i like the look ov them geting a new reel and this is at the top ov my list ... any help wud be appeicated

 

[fish fingers]

lovely casting reels as with most of the diawa reels but defo no good in the heavy ground maybe 1 of the saltists 20 or 30 just my opinion

 

[gary2010]

no good for rough ground there more of a clean ground reel and a little bit of mixed. a saltist 20h or 30h will be better for the rough stuff

Clean-slightly mixed only, rough ground is just not an option mate

Amazing reels with fantastic build quality, I always use mine if the ground suits

magnets only come into play at high revs so lobbing baits out a no go with this reel more suited to distance casting with baits.

cheers lads my uncle owns a 30h like mint reel love those 7ht like .. mainly ever fish rough not to worry tho might get both on the quiet ,,, my lass will go mental lol

Just buy a 525 mag, casts well and handles rough ground. Only 10 -15 yds behind a 7ht mag if distance is a priority

For distance purposes, how do you rate the 7ht turbo versus the 7ht mag? Just asking as I use the turbo but am thinking about getting a mag.

a well set up 7ht turbo should be just as good, i had my 7ht turbo with 2 of the smallest abu brake blocks in and oiled with yellow rocket fuel it used to cast a dream, but if there was a strong wind in my face i think i would of struggled unless i tightend the spool tension abit. some lads use the 7ht turbo with a mag conversion christian brayley has cast his over 300 yard i think.
