Garry,
thanks for the heads up on the Teton 3 on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is the lack of drag
common on all Multipliers ? I must admit I am intrigued by the Cobra.
(comes with 4 spools and a some line besides)
Jerry,
You're welcome on the Teton/Teton 3 on [EMAIL PROTECTED] I like the reel
and to me it looks right on the rod. Yeah, it's a 9' er, but then
again it's spooled w/ 1/2 of a 5wt double taper, so it's all messed
up anyway but roll casts like a dream. If you ask Rick Koontz, he'll
tell ya that rod could easily be a 4wt, but was listest as a fast
(ultra fast really) 3 wt, which is what I wanted for blue-gill
(bream) here at a local pond.
I need to correct myself - it was a Martin Multiplier (
http://www.martinfishing.com/catalog/MULTI_reels.html ) The
Multiplier I had did have a drag, it was dime sized and 3/8
thick. I'm used to palming my reels/rims to slow fish down and it
doesn't happen with a Martin. I guess I'm still thinking spinning
reels when I think ratio's. Those anti-reverse reels would be cool
if they crossed one with a multiplier -- would seem like a fancy
spinning reel then, wouldn't though? Something you could retrieve a
spoon with ease then? I saw the Cobras and the extra spools seems
like a good idea then.
