Lew's test drive

3dkicker · 04-23-11, 06:19 PM

Got a chance to play with the new Speed Spool. Not the $150 model but the $90 one. Used a TFO 7' med/fast rod and a 3/8 oz chatterbait type bait. Definately worth checking out if you're in the market for a low profile reel for less than a ben franklin. One thing I noticed was that no thumb was needed to slow the spool down and the bait flew. No backlash. I also had a 7' St. Croix med/heavy/fast with a Curado (old model) 201 and a 3/8 oz jig/pig and I didn't come close to matching the distance.
ps Got a pic of a huge snakehead that the Major caught on Weds!!! I'll lost pics on Mon.
