I only have one question: Why would Zander mention the Gearbox at all in his review? The point is not his mentioning it. Or anyone else mentioning it. Heck, I even mentioned it in my review of my G3 STX. The problem comes in when folks who have never owned one say it's an "issue". Maybe Z...

Why am I even replying and regergitating...... *sigh*.... I only have one question: Why would Zander mention the Gearbox at all in his review? Valid and important details such as the Gearbox on the Revos are worth mentioning, as not all Fishermen share the same view as you and or I. Not only that bu...

Isn’t what Zander stated about the Gearbox the same thing what Steezman and I have been stating all along? No, it's not. You said: I see Zander had the same impression and issue with the big gear box as I did. Nowhere does Zander say it was an "issue" for him. Only folks that have not act...

I see Zander had the same impression and issue with the big gear box as I did. No, he did not. He said "Most anglers, including myself , are okay with how the reel feels in hand, though I do find myself holding the reel a little differently with my fingers split around the bulbous gearbox.&quo...

I see Zander had the same impression and issue with the big gear box as I did. Zander solidifies what Steezman started on his gearbox thread.

No matter what we do people will complain. That is a given. Correct. There have been no company in the history of civilization that has made a product that everyone liked. You cannot simply appease everyone. And to say I am in denial or stressed? And this is a follow up to the election? There is no...

If we kept all the features and brought the reel over at say, $50-60 more, would you all be happier and willing to pay almost $500 for the Calcutta? Think about where you are asking that. :lol: :lol: :lol: I think we all here on TT agrees with this sentiment. Many of us were willing to shell out $$...

Certainly something I wasn't happy to hear. Shimano seems to be taking a page out of the Daiwa playbook. :doh: Adjustable brakes with limited access. ](*,) Cutting manufacturing cost would be my guess rather than the answer given (which actually goes against Daiwa philosophy now that I think about ...

Thus far the consensus has been what I thought it should be - a very good reel. Now the question is, do you get 6 T3-Ballistics or 3 T3's? That is the question!!!! A couple more weeks, most lakes in the Northern US here will be frozen or close to it. Time to start selling old gears!!!
