I don't think the lind winding issue is a biggie. It's never caused me any knotting problems, even with a very soft braid like Whiplash.
Fixing it means making the gearing more complex, equalling more failure potential, IMO.

A $700 reel should be PERFECT.

So Ben, by that logic, an 80K SUV that costs X times more than my Tacoma should be perfect; but landrovers still break down!

A Series I disco list was $35K. The worst POS ever driven, and JD Powers confirms this! |

Strange thing is that based on consumer reports and other surveys, the tacoma would be astronomically more reliable. The worst reliability is always mercedes, bmw, landrover, jaguar etc.
Even if this were the case with vs, there must be some performance advantage of the high end cars and high end reels that makes them appealing, right?
It makes sense to tell someone that there may be other reels to look that will do a great job and save money or whatever... but (and I don't own one...) I don't get the business of basically implying someone is foolish for getting one or just doing it for status. Funny thing is I don't hear this as much about Arra rods, which I own and love, but could certainly have spent much less on rods that do a comparable job. |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
