I'm unfamilar with most of that. What's the retrieve ratio and what kind of fishing was a reel like that built for?
 
I've got a new blue Swedish 6500 C4 for cats and musky ( hopefully) but I had no idea it was the size big drum chasers liked. I thought they were using the really big Abu's for that.

Sounds like a cool reel.
 
I was kinda dissapointed I couldn't find a 6500 with the old school button I don't care for the new thumb bar.

What do you mean by running them hot?
 
I don't know of one.
As far as alot of the souped up stuff, it comes out of the world of distance casting.
This one is running dry ceramics. You can tell by the whine.
You can turn a reel upwards of 25,000 RPM on a cast with the right tuning and casting technique.
