You’re in for a lot of fun! These electric reels are great on grouper, halibut, snapper, tile fish. If you got the gear, these are fun when kite fishing too! They can quickly wind in the kite after a hookup and automatically stop once it is done at the touch of a button. This leaves you free to battle the gamefish.
