My Moonraker is still going very strong
It is my weapon of choice for the beach and a number of rock situations. The 10 footer is for the other situations.

well i am looking for a new reel for that 12ft rod .... as the okuma just doesnt seem to fit with the rest of the gears.

Match your rod up to the reel you want to use it with
and hold it as you normally would when fishing and see if it feels balanced. Then try taking the balance weights off one at a time to see if it feels more balanced or not (does this make sense). It is a matter of personal preference in a way. For me if I have the right reel matched up to the rod I pretty much leave it alone.

Nice work Kris
Port Gregory is a nice spot and a 50cm tailor is a very nice fish.

i was using my 14000
i was using my 14000 spheros but found it too heavy/large for the rod.
managed my first catch on it too though... a school shark while chasing for tailor. lol
i would recommend a 6000 or 8000 size reel. I'm looking at getting one in this size range probably a twinpower or stradic would suit nicely.
good luck mate

I reckon you are bang on Rob
a reel that size would be perfect.
I run a Seagate 4500H on my 10' mastery.
