I will quote wat i said when u herd,

''Yes, i hav both reels ORDERED!!!''

Mind u, since then with this minor cosmetic problem av had to wait and cancel one ov them, decided to get one at a time. this means i concentrate on more important things, like fishing!!

As I said, I orderd from gerry's B4 THEY WER DUE TO B SOLD:@, so I cud make sure I get them. Anyways a was on phone to them earlier told them to cancel. This is becuse a gud local takle dealer (Mr Wood) has just got the 515 mag in, so am gonna support my local by buying them off him...:-)

Nuff said really.

515 Mag2's arrived in today

what type of fishing are the 515 reel aimed at. anyone no of line capacity of 18lb mono or .40 dia

[Stewart 1971]

Think the capacity is 270 yards of .31mm so for .37mm (18lb) maybe 200 yards if you pig load it.

Looks like an out and out clean beach reel aimed at the new generation of low diameter to breaking strain lines to me, wouldn't want to put more than .35mm on there if I had one (and I'm thinking about it).

Not just the beach!

Its not only 4 beach fishing. Those boffins at penn hav managed to squeeze al the power of the 525 mag into a smaller reel, including the 6:1 retrieve. So its not just for beach, but the pier, rocks (at a push), light boat, ect. Mind u, its size would suggest it was a beach reel. Had a hold n a look at one yesterday. There actually alot smaller than I thort theyd be! But this wont deter me though!
