Taking no chances with the high risk of fishing equipment failure in La Paz, I embarked on a field test last weekend, in which I painstakingly sought out deep enough water to fully deploy the 113. And having properly weighted the line so as to sufficiently test it's drop speed, I proceeded to, with the help of a willing member of the San Juan animal testing school, retrieve the deployed line while alternately pumping the rod, turning the handle and adjusting the drag. As expected, I was pleased with the test results.
