essequamvideri 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2013 Good evening Fish For Life. A couple of years ago I purchased an Albright GPX real for my 5wt. It was on sale for $99.99. When I opened it I was some what impressed with the feel and the quality of their product. However it wasn't until I had the chance to put it to use on some larger fish that I realized the truth behind this real. It can handle anything I have put it through so far. I was so impressed that I purchased one for an 8wt for my saltwater rod. I have been landing 7 and 8 lb bluefish with this reel. Well, that's my two cents.
