Took my TD-Z 105H along.  It has been supertuned and upgraded.  Excellent casting reel.  The Primmus is as it came from the factory.  I was again impressed with the smoothness of this reel.  In my book guys unwilling to try the new Pinnacle reels are missing out.  Casting distance was pretty much equal.  Maybe a tad further with the Primmus.  Different rods, line and lures so not a valid test.  Just seat of the pants experience, but the reels seem pretty evenly matched to me.  I know the Primmus on the right rod will bomb a 3/8 oz. popper.

 

The Tatula rod I put the Primmus on today continues to please me.  Excellent feedback with the rattletrap.  Money very well spent.  I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a rod in this price range.  Lucky me paid quite a bit below normal price.

I've got a secret soft spot for Silstar reels.  When are they going to make an Optimus Primus because I would totally buy that.
