Three New Additions

Got these while I was out of town fishing at a local market. I.love fish tacos so these should bode well.

Avet Raptor HXW

Ok so I have a 3 day coming up. I have an accurate Valiant 1000 on one rod and a backup rod for night jigging is a Connley 50-100. The rod is Red white and blue American flag colors.

For reels I ordered the last Aver Raptor HXW lefty ai could find only silver. Then I found an Acer Raptor HX not W that is silver and red. Ilike the color of the HX as it has some red but do I need the extra line capacity of the HXW?

I plan on using high end Varivas Max9 PE so it is thin. Just not sure if I need the extra line capacity the HXW offers.

Only one of the silver and red HX raptors avail in lefty. Do I need the extra capacity or is this good enough?

PE question

OK so I have a 3 day coming up, one setup has a new Accurate Valiant 1000 2 speed. I'm really hearing good things about Varivas PE but the only 1200m rolls I find say 1200m continuous line on 10 100m spools.

Why so.lany spools? I'm planning to have a shop put my line and topshot on the reel but I want to bring my own line and wanted to make sure they would be able to use this to spool the reel or would it not work because of the multiple spools?

Thanks for any input!

Fishing Gloves Question

Ok quick question for y'all. I ordered some Shimano gloves and buncha stuff from overseas for an upcoming 3day offshore fishing trip in Mexico.

Both pairs of gloves have this weird Velcro flap/cover.on both hands. I've never seen anything like it and I wanted to find out what they are for.

A quick Google search was fruitless. Not sure what they are for? To pin/hold your line while you retie? Anyone know?

Cheers!
