Olympus Hero 5000 Reel w/Gomexus Knob!
1st American Debut of Olympus X6X Heros 5000 Spinning Reel Full-on Review! I Also Installed a Gomexus "Plug & Play" Handle w/Knob. Why?
Model: HRS GTX 5000
Ball Bearings: 5+1
Gear Ratio: 5.2:1
Weight: 335g/11.82oz
Max Drag: 10kg/+22lb
Mono Capacity: 0.35/310yd (12lb)
0.40/240yd (15lb)
0.45/190yd (20lb)
Also has a Mechanical Stabilizing System/Quick-set Anti-Reverse System/And Has a Carbon Body. Largest of the Heros Spinning Reels.
These stats are roughly the same for 4K/5K US spinning reels as well.
So why did I swap out the rocker arm for the Gomexus "Plug & Play"? I intend to use this reel for inshore surf casting. Can the original rocker arm "best" a larger sized fish? Most likely. Also i wanted to see if this overseas reel is capable of accepting "upgrades". This is the first time certain models are going to be used in the US that i'm aware of. I wanted to see what i could do with it.
