Interim Field Test Results....

Offshore Angler Ocean Master- OM 50 Spinning Reel- http://www.basspro.com/
Offshore Angler Gold Cup Inshore Spinning Rod- 7 Feet- http://www.basspro.com/

It's been two full months of tarpon action, specifically 23 silver kings from 40 to 80 pounds and the two above items have performed flawlessly. There have been no parts failures on the Ocean Master reel and the drag continues to be smooth and the bail roller is rolling. I have done no maintenance other than lightly wash off and spray-oil the reels. The rods have absorbed tremendous punishment and never get a kid's glove treatment when my 16-foot Hewes becomes a tarpon skiff and workboat under the hot summer Florida sun.
