Re: Product Insight : Zillion TWS a.k.a. Tatula Z?

this article highlights why at the "street price" of $100 all day the regular Tatula is one of the best deals in fishing.

Re: Cal's review of the TWS Zillion confirmed what we feared

The problem with the new Zillion is that it is basically a Tatula Type R squared...for 100 more (retail) it doesn't add much to making a better reel (vs. the tatula).

Re: Okuma's Big Bait Slayer, the Komodo

Is that reel a Revo Toro variant? That line guide and body shape looks familiar...

Re: The REVOlution Continues, Abu Garcia’s New Gen 3 Premier

As someone who does things right (cast right, retrieve left) the gearbox is a total non-issue on the new Revos. I just have the SX so far, but even it has a light spool that you'd have to pay premier money to get in the past.

Great reels for the money. Gears are curado 200d size which I like.

Re: The Re-REVOlution Begins, First Look at the 2013 Revo

At that pricing, looks like the Premier just got priced out of usefullness. I think most would pay a little more for an MGX, or just be perfectly happy with the STX, which looks to be the same reel as the old premier.

The STX would be the reel I'd purchase out of the new introductions.
