very cool story. thats crazy volume they put out!

very good review. cant wait for the tt review of the t3air so see how your impressions contrast mine. i have one, and its the most amazing reel ive ever fished.

nicely done!

2 thumbs up on your mods to the rig to prevent excess stress and damage to the fish due to extra hookings from other jigheads on the rig.

very interesting review. ive only ever heard bad things and negative reports on this. i'll have to try mine. tbh, ive had it since early last spring or so and never used it once lol.

Cal, do you think that the smoke 100 would be capable of:
-throwing 55lb samurai and swimjigs?
-handling 15-17 test copoly for hollowbellies/spinnerbaits?
