Need opinions on a reel
 

Big 5 has a Shimano Tyrnos 2 speed lever drag reel for sale. I am thinking about getting the TYR-16II its on sale for $199.99
Anyone know if this reel would be good for yellowtail?
I have never owned a lever drag reel so I don't know what to look for.

I have an e mail flyer that has that reel listed for $149.

I think it would work just fine.

Does the flyer list the TYR-8 or the TYR-16 ? The add shows the TYR-8 as $149 and the TYR-16 as $199
I was wanting the bigger reel for the extra line capacity and speed

This is the link for the ad.

Yea I was talking about the little blue box where it lists 2 additional models they have of that same reel. And I also found a $10 off coupon when u spend $50 or more so it will be a even better deal!
Now to find a good pole...

Rod
 

I have a Cal Star G Series, used a few times.

Thanks for the offer on the pole but I don't have the money to buy a pole right now after buying this reel. I picked up the reel today it looks like it will be a great reel, just need to save for a nice pole. =)
