Re: Time to Spool Them Up and String Them Out... Which Reel Is Best (part two)?

Can you post the IPT of each reel side by side? Obviously it changes a bit at the beginning of a cast but I have noticed quite a large difference of IPT when comparing gear ratios. Sometimes it feels harder or easier to move a bait but you may be moving a larger amount of line due to IPT.

Re: Simms Challenges the Notion Gore-Tex Is the Only Viable Rain Fabric

Hmm, have you tested anything for rain up to say 80 degrees, with shorts underneath? Nothing worse then having a summer storm roll in and your choices are get wet or sweat.

Re: Shooting for the Sky - Castaway's New Titania Air Rods

Are the rod specs listed anywhere? Frustrating when a company releases a new product but doesn't update their site.

Re: First Look Inside the Tank that is the New Shimano Tranx 300 Baitcaster

spot on on the handles. Seems like the handles should be reversed or why not provide both like the abu and quantum competition does?

Re: Tranx 300/400

I posted all of the spec info at the bottom of the first post. The info you requested is about an inch above your post. I only see one set of reel weights above my post, so the 300 and the 400 weight the same? Same thing with the IPT I only see one set of numbers which leads me to believe the IPT i...

Re: Tranx 300/400

Re: 2017 Official Release? 1/2/17

Yeah Im curious about the tranx 300 and 400, the price looks right, speeds look right, left handed models. Seems like everything thing the big bait crowd has been asking for.

Re: Abu Garcia's Unicorn : The REVO Toro Beast!!

So does the Toro S model rate better or worse? It only has a single braking system which you put having two as a negative for the toro beast. Similar weight, less money, left hand models, only one slow speed but its only 3 inches difference in IPT. How does it compare to the pld toro and toro nacl t...

Re: Left Handed Concept Reels

The 6.6 gear ratio concepts have similar ipt to most 5.1 reels made by other companies. While I agree that not having the full product spectrum for people in their right mind, I think it won't be a huge issue.

Re: Is the Native Watercraft "Ultimate 12" Fishing Kayak ...

Finally a topic I can speak to lol. I used a native 14 for years while living in Tampa Florida. I mounted the rods on a milk crate and put a slight angle on the mounts so they pointed back so I wouldn't hook them. Or I had a few friends that used scotty mounts to mount them horizontal behind the sea...
