Re: Helios or Revo SX 3????
Dont have the helios but do have 2 komodos which is almost the same reel as the 2013 helios same price as well, I have worked it over this year, using them as my go to reels. They are smooth, cast a mile, very smooth drags that have been put to the test on some big pike. I put them on the level of m...

Does anyone one know the size of the 3 spool bearings on the Okuma Komodo, or the new Okuma helios 2013, pretty much the same reel so i am guessing bearings are the same?
Thnx

Re: Anyone used the new Gander GSX Elite?
Its not close to the same as 13. It is not designed by 13, it is made in the same factory that's it. Hold each side by side the difference is huge the GSX Elite feels cheap and not crisp or lively or high quality.. The blank may be 40 ton toray/sokme version of it, but i would guess resins , scrim ,...

Re: OBC73M Omen
I have that one, and the Envy 7'3mh was just messing around with both. I would go mh for those , the mh has a great tip will launch them out there. The m will handle but might be slightly taxed. In terms of quality you cant beat it at that price. I own two omens one envy and another of each on the w...

My stradic fi 3000, is making a slight rubbing noise at the top and bottom of the stroke of the spool if that makes sense. Opened it up all looks ok inside any guess?

Need the TT experts
I dont own a slow gear ratio reel ie 5:4:1 it is 23ipt or slower, I can get a really good one on the cheep but I dont like uni taskers, will that ratio suffice for other techniques like soft body swim baits/ some plastics as well as crankbait fishing?

Re: 13 Fishing Omen Black
I am super impressed with them, I think they fish maybe a touch heavier then rated. The balance is great the reel seat is something special imo. It takes a little to get used to the smaller handle, but once I did i really liked it. They are crisp, lively and sensitive I would said more so then Dobyn...
