I agree, the reels should be on the site, but gaffe? Meh, there's half a dozen real user reviews here, and the same "marketing verbiage" that would appear on the site is on most of the retail sites. If you google "Pinnacle Primus," there's a a few videos, our reviews and several retail locations that sell it, both online and brick and morter. I know guys like to see specs, though, so anything you need not listed in the article, I can try and provide or we can go back to Pinnacle and get for you.

What info did you need that wasn't in the article? I can give you what ever specs you are looking for.

Am I the only one that gave up on DT Flats due to only getting the bill back after a few casts? It wasn't just one either.

Width has an indirect effect on IPT, through out the retrieve. A wider spool loses less IPT as line is cast out. Spool Diameter has greater effect. Spool depth and/or capacity has no effect without knowing width and diameter, relative to the other reel you're comparing.

Maybe we could throw the Komodo in there - all three look VERY similar. Any donors? I promis, there will only be a few left over parts, lol.

Deja vu? http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/146308-modify-your-next-years-fishing-routine-or-not/ These will be merged when I get a chance.

Thanks! I'd do it, I already have the 2013 green Helios, but don't have a donor specimen of the TCS reel.

Nice job!

Seems like 31 would be a better option.

I think it's a busted up turkey vulture skull. What people are assuming are eye sockets are maybe actually sinus cavities?

No, this is a bird.....

I'm sort of with you....I crank with Sol/Alphas reels - 5.8:1. They're small spools, but I tried a few other "cranking" reels, namely a Zillion Crazy Cranker, and Revo Winch, and they were too slow for me. I have a Pinnacle cranking reel on the way, for deep divers so we'll see how I like that reel. I think it's 5.5:1.

Geez, now I'm gonna have to get one, just because I refuse to oil any centrifugal brake drum, and they all work fine for me.

This is a rod I have that works well for that size bait: http://www.bassresource.com/fishing_lures/mat-daddy-helios-review.html It's not it's primary purpose, but it fits the bill.

Definitely.

No real measurable snow by me, though my commute last night was one hour for a 12 mile drive up 590. It took 45 minutes this morning. Apparently snow is not a prerequisite for pile ups on 590.

This will help illustrate Hackney's comments. I have no idea what the IPT measurements are on each of the ratios, so I can't really confirm his assertions.

The 100 and 200 species of EXO reels are drastically different in size. The 300 is just a bit wider than the 200, but spool diameter is the same.

There's a pen in the background of the second. Looks about 3-4" long.

Nope. Baitmonkey is immortalz.

Looks avian.

That thing is yummy.

Neither will playing a home game in Detroit with no practice! It gives me great pleasure to see Bills fans moping around, lol.
