Hey Doctor Rick, nice job on winning that reel. I looked it up, and it definatly looks like something I'd like to see on my spey rod. Since it was kinda free, you could spend the $200(ouch) on a spare spool, and fill that with some 10-12wt clear Tarpon line and you've got an awsome large saltwater reel. I'd bet Kaufmann's or any of the bigger shops would have a reel about the same weight/size already loaded that you could go and test drive some rods. Happy hunting...Here's one idea...Tom
