When you order a Salmo Slider from http://www.tacklebargains.co.uk/ it comes in Toothy Critter packaging.

if the reel is the same as the silver one in the middle you can get it in lhw, and chances are it wont be tha tbad if it is a little rough around teh edges i can talk ou through turning it into a decent reel

if its the six shooter though dont do it i have NEVER heard a good word about them

the lures were salmos masterline had the rights to them in the uk



not all masterline lures were salmo though so dont buy them on the strength of that

one word over the multi though its not made for chucking big jerks soft plastics etc around

why buy something thats not up to the job just shell out and buy a reel that works right out of the box

lol or if im wanting to cast lighter lures with it around 15gms then i clean it and use a light sewing machine oil instead

mines use for smaller cranks on small venues where really accurate cast need to be made its just about the freeist running multi i own

those include

penn 940 biggest jerks and spinnerbaits i own up to about 8 ounce
shimano corsair general jerks up to around 4 ounce
abu something or other smaller lures like the toothy critter up to 1 ounce maybe a bit bigger
quantum iron fist general cranks like magnum bombers grandmas mirrolures etc up to about 2 ounces
the toothy critter general cranks etc up to about 2 ounces
missing 1 i think i cant think of at the minute

thought you were going to say ,RED. the abu is it one of the small reels with the thumb trigger.

i was thing lure between 10-40gms casting with this multiplier

yeah gopld series or something

all plastic cage and all that

as opposd to the totthy one with a solid metal one......

its an abu pro max

and yes the toothy critter will work well in that weight range ok it may struggle at teh lighter end but it cast small alphabet things and 14cm bombers well enough

it will do it but its only a small reel so not ideal i have used mine for jerks like that and it tends to overspin a lot (me being me took all the brakes off and has it backed right off for those extra few yards and then stick bigger lures on and the inevitable happens

you played with the brakes yet?
what braid you running on it

ill put it this way the lad who i do most of my lure fishing with has four of the toothy critters

along with four 6501c3's two of the new fangled abu toro's

which do you reckon he uses most for bank fishing?

for general big lure work like the mb gliders leons and his mantas trueglide etc its teh toothy critter
