The fishband PW100 pro is original fishband reel that has the 8.3g spool, the lowest rating spools of it's time and still can keep up with the newer CDM BFS reels. This reel was a building block in my BFS collection. I was able to cast .9g-1.5 lures after cleaning out and lubing the bearings. Then after installing ceramic bearings I was able to cast .5-1g with the right rod with a fast action tip rod.
This little glass rod is a well made and a beautiful design. The action of the rod is very soft action at the top of section of the rod, and the back of the rod has good back bone.This rod main design for Flick castingin small bodies of water such as Streams,creeks,canals and small areas in general. Paired with my Alphas air TW with upgraded Hedgehog Studio bearings, I'm able to cast down to .5g jighead with a micro size soft plastic around 30-40ft range and that distance that's more than enough for small areas of fishing.Overall I like this rod and very fun that's what fishing is all about.
