I saw the Tica conventionals (Calcutta 400 and 700 size) at a show and like whenever I see new/different gear, I gots to buy it. Thankfully I took a close look as the more and more I checked it out, the more I became very unimpressed. It looked good and I suppose if that's who your market is but it just didn't feel like a Big Game and certainly nothing like a Calcutta (even though it's intended to look like one).. Definite, total, complete P.O.S. IMO. Didn't see the spinners but it sounds like your not exactly jumping with joy... I'm not suprised that Tim is standing behind it but I hope he doesn't get screwed by the rep or manufacturer (I think they're from PRChina
) Personally, I'm staying clear of those...
