Fin nor

[Tonygdodds]

Has anyone got any reviews or experience of using these.
A m8 of mine used them on a charter trip in Australia & reckons it's the best reel he's ever used & handled some huge fish without even missing a beat

I bought one when I was working down in Australia, a Marquesa 20, I haven't used anything else for boat work since and have added a 20 two speed to the tackle box as well.
My mate who I fish with most of the time has moved over as well after having a go of mine.
I have had my first one three years now and it still feels unbreakable and as smooth as silk.
I can't sing their praises highly enough, expensive but you get what you pay for.
The only other reel I have held which felt better was a penn on a recent skate trip and that was bonkers money, too much for me!

Aint seen them yet ! I think the word expensive will put me off lol ,we are into snowbee 10 and 20 at the moment with good results ... will be having a look tho

 

[Tonygdodds]

It was the 2 speed 20 I was looking at
Missed a bargain on eBay
Brand new I was gonna go at £155 as my highest it sold for £140
My daughter asked for help on her game & I got distracted & forgot to bid lol,
I'm after a saltist 2 speed aswell but my mate reckons these fin nor are leagues ahead of the daiwa

I have the fin nor LT40 which i use for heavy spinning work and although some might say at £75 its a tad expensive its bulletproof and on par with reels that are 3 times the expense .The fin nor range just scream quality and whatever you buy from them you will not be disappointed.

I'm looking to get a saltist LD30 2 speed, but might have a look at the Fin Nor now as well

 

[Tonygdodds]

Decision made for me now

 

[Tonygdodds]

[Tonygdodds]

I assume £75 is an error

Comparison to a shimano tld 15

Cheers.
I think the 30 would be too big.
The spool in narrower, but looks a lot deeper.
Looked at getting one from same place as you.
Was £205 the other day but up to £245 now.
Not sure wether to get the 2 speed.
They're a lot cheaper from 'ottos' tackle in Australia, has anyone bought anything
from there? It has shipping roughly around £25 but not sure if you need to add import duty on that as well?

 

[Tonygdodds]

Yes you'll need duty fees approx £45
Can't remember the lad I spoke to but if you ring him & tell him you're poss going to buy from states or Australia because of price Id then offer him £190-£200
I'm sure he'll take it

It is the 20 I got ma20, & unless my kitchen scales are fooked it actually weighs less than manufacturers state

I've ordered the MA20 from Menai Angling.
He had them up for £254, but got him down to £205 inc postage, so not too bad

Can't complain at that
Good real for the price I reckon
