I have calstar 90J with a torium 30 that I use to throw surface irons. I just got a newell 338. Which reel do you think would be better for throwing surface irons in southern california on the 1/2 day and 3/4 day boats?

Had to beat a Newell for throwing light iron. Like the 332 more than the 338 for iron, I have used both since the P series first came out.

Try them out on the same stick and see which one you like. You already own the two reels. It's kindof a moot point. Whichever one you don't like can be your live bait rod after you go buy a 700ML. Good luck with that one.

Next time you go out just fish one for a while, then switch to the other reel. That way you will know what works best for you. Maybe you could come back on the boards and report your findings.

If you think distance is the only factor in fishing surface iron then go with the Newell, if you can sacrifice a couple yards and want a smooth fight then use your Torium, I like both options it just depends on my mood!!! When it's wide open I like to use every different option, switch between 3 or 4 rods, try something new!!!

Torium 20 or 332. If you use the Torium keep up on the maintinance or you'll be sorry. I destroyed one in less than 3 months...
