Introduction: Trika is gearing up to launch their new reel line, beginning with the T100 baitcaster. While this compact baitcaster shares some obvious similarities with another existing CNC reel, it quickly becomes apparent that the T100 delivers a distinct experience. This is due to its unique features, including full ceramic spool bearings and a range of surprising refinements aimed at enhancing long-term performance and durability.

so uh trika decided to give everyone the middle finger i guess. Allegedly it went up to $349 before this a few weeks ago and now the price of the reel suddenly and unannounced by $100 from original and it’s currently on “20%” off sale at $320 which is more than original price when these things released.

They upped the price on the rods too. They were $299, now marked as $349 regular price, $279 sale price. So only a 10% rather than 20% off sale. Will be interesting to see if those regular prices remain or change back some time after the sale ends.
