Loaded question ....... for the looks the TD Itö has always been my nemesis, but there are so many reels out there ........ but I still return to the TD Itö, why can´t I have the kash when it happens to be available ? :crying:

Oh yeah, that danged chimp that always beats me to my pocket ~X( purchasing POS reels like more TDZs, Pixys, Cores ..... :evil22:

The AE74 for sure!

I have a few ultra mags and love them to death. I couldn't imagine what this would be like to fish.
Nothing like the smell of two stroke in the morning.
