No, this is where I differ from you, I don't go into threads about things I don't have experience with or have a strong dislike for just to talk crap about it. I don't go out of my way to dismiss someone's opinion or act like they don't know anything because they think Chronado E series are sliced ...

Don't have a G3 Premier, probably won't ever pick one up do to not being an IVCB fan compared to dual braking, but the more I fish my G3 STXes, which unfortunately are in hibernation, the more I like them. They're not quite as smooth & a bit noisier than my G2 Revos, but they're close along wit...

I have fished both a friend of mine couldn't stop talking about how great they were, well he had to return both one for ...
