He's the only guy who rates reels from the inside out, rather than how they look in stealth grey videos.

I swear it's identical, almost 300$ cheaper, has a better looking handle, and more aesthetically pleasing. I don't even bother with the U.S reel market anymore other than diawa+shimano.

Also for sale on Ebay but the price is $350 there

That's for sure. He sort of faded away after he chucked the Steez LTD across his table. Now all we're left with is the distance casting Shimano monkey who changes only one spool bearing for tests. Oy.

But it's a mag brake, Dodge. Will you need to see a therapist first??

Think I might like the model with the centrifugal brake. It's also $100 less.

Please, go for it! I appreciate a willing guinea pig. Oops I meant "early adopter". I've been one myself. ?

 

But seriously, you're probably quite safe going that route. They have ACB nailed down at this point.

Yeah it will be may of next year if I'm lucky. I learned on a Shimano castiac with 6 pin brakes. I loved that reel. I've always preferred centrifugal.i knew Lew's was gonna update the pro ti. It was the only one without p2 pinion which is why I never bought one.

The elite may have a lighter spool because the brake is in the cover. Might cast light baits better.
