I have seen all kinds and sizes of reels out there on the river salmon fishing.
the particular reel you are speaking of, I dont know about, it is a newer model. How ever, one thing you want to make sure of, when fishing for salmon, you want a reel that is rated for at least 25-30 pound test line,
even if you are going to fish with lighter line, you never know when you may end up trolling or using a set line rig or run in to a stergeon.
I ran in to my neigbor up on the river this year, I was suprised to run in to him, he had a reel that was compleatly stripped of its gears. It was only rated for 12 pound.
true most of the salmon you run in to are in the 10-15 pound class, there are some 30 pounders the will give you a workout.
[ul][li]Did you get the red one or the gold one?[/li][/ul]
as for your model, you can check to see what line it is rated for, if you like that style you can usualy go back to the store to get the model rated for the line you require.
This is what the manufacture says about it.
