Woww many thanks for your detailed explanation. I have never thought about line snap during trip before. Having high capacity of line surely important in this case.
I will take that into consideration.
Btw may I know which shop are you usually dealing with? Thinking of getting my reel from fishmax tackle klang. Seems like good tackle shop with lot of experience and good after sales service. Have around 3 months before trip to decide.
usually i buy my stuff from PJ Ss2 Fishing Fever Angler
also 1 more thing i forget to inform you , shimano forcemaster dont have memory function , cant confirm with beastmaster have or not
all daiwa model have memory function provided you connect back the power supply ASAP
what that mean when you bottom fishing at 300m and if there any chance that power supply was disturb
the reading on the screen will auto reset back to zero, YES ZERO even when you already have 300m line out
there a button to press to retrieve back the previous depth but since the menu is at japanese most dont know how to press
shimano older model all are JDM model , so mostly is japanese wording
only those import from US have english word but the price different is really noticable
that why most store carry JDM model instead
so the power supply on the boat or the battery you bringing yourself is a very important thing !
pls ask if the power supply is stable or not , also pls do ask if the boat have 12v converter or not
since most boat are using 24v current supply , the only electrical reel that can support 24v is Miya epoch (only some model)
so pls dont fry your electrical reel by plugging into 24v , shimano and daiwa use 12v only
some using really cheap converter also can fry you reel , this happen on one of my fishing mate on sabah KK deep sea trip
the boat wiring was old and busted , the deckhand try to repair it in the end it fry his electrical reel on that trip
