X-Long Wide Gap looks like it might go well with my Keitech Salty Core solid body tubes.

Well thats what Im getting at to some people a 50E is a finesse reel but in my hands get nearly equal results. I have core50mg7 I do better with that reel than the others.

I posted my results before of the same lure/rod with a '12 JM Carbonlite reel and also 50E but had 15#pps8s and max cast with 50E was 42' got 45' but accuracy not as good so I have 3 reels that I get nearly the same distance out of. I only posted cause Im quite surprized at how well my pinnacle does...

Seems people are getting all bent out of shape regarding numbers - but everybody posting is struggling with the math - :lol: 30 feet plus 10-12 feet = 40-42 feet That does not equate 50 nor does it equal 36 Id like to see the pinnacle cast 40 feet with that weight, to do it you might be right it is...

Well a video not going to happen so dont believe, dont. Where did 50 some feet come from??? I never said that, I get around 40 feet with fairly good accuracy. Rod 7' Quantum Smoke rod M/F and line 10#pps8s, lure SK bitsy minnow actual weight 0.0823oz, 2.336g With a LTB 6'9"MLXF Im around 36' Th...

from article: "I commented my ability to reach distances of roughly forty feet with a 3g finesse jig on this combo. That was an on-the-water estimate. Back at TT HQ, I tried again for a more quantitative measurement and can confirm distances of closer to thirty feet. This was with all casting ...

Every person on TT can cast 70yds easily just look at the threads about distance. Most get this distance with just 3/8 oz too and oh 65# braid.

I'm just glad there are tests being done by people here who actually fish, instead of engineers. While engineers are smart (just ask them), they also make mistakes because they sometimes can't see the forest for the trees. Remember that Mars probe they parked sub-surface on Mars, because one set of...

WOW a whole page, a few pictures, mini rant, devoted to an "issue" that turns out to be caused by lack of knowledge of the product. Gotta take your lumps on this one.

Is there a way to measure the sensitivity of each line? This attribute is mentioned quite often in posts about one fluoro being more sens. than another. Like have a bar tap the line(with given force) on one end of say 10' of line and on the other end have a vibration monitor device capturing the tra...

Quantify & Quantifiable in the same paragraph you guys ROCK
