He was the 3rd. place of Barramundi Classic 2009.
Mr. Matt West's the great champion and so his own reel is ,of course, SHIMANO STELLA.
Very very expensive!
On the other hand, Matt had tested SHIMANO STRADIC CI4 1000F.
He needed data how STRADIC CI4 worked under the condition of the salt water.
CI4 is SHIMANO's ultra light-weight material.
This STRADIC CI4 1000F weight is only 165gm.
This STRADIC CI4 has 6 S-ARB(ANTI-RUST)bearings + 1 roller.
At any rate, STRADIC CI4 is very light and very small.
Matt's fishing rod was Gloomis 8LB line weight at that time.
Nice sized GT was caught by an ultra light-weight tackle by Mr. Matt West.
Thanks to Matt's experiment, we could understand that this very small reel and very light rod did work for strongly powerful fish.
Do you remember that Matt tested a very small #1000 sized toy-reel for catching nice sized Barramundi the other day?
Matt's experiments gave me an idea for my next trial from coming April.
