They just do not like the salt. Had mine
freeze up even though I religiously clean them after each use and sent it back.
Received a brand new one in 2 weeks and have not had any trouble. However I
have not used it in the salt again. I am just going to replace all my reels
with Ross reels and be done with it this spring. The new evolution looks really
nice for smaller rods and the Canyon Big Games I have are in my mind some of
the best reels out there. For value and performance they cannot be beat and as
far as customer service is concerned Ross is the best. I am personally sick of trying the okumas, heritages, (insert any other value priced
offering), etc. In the end they are never exactly what I want. If I would have shelled
out money for the good stuff in the first place I would have saved myself a ton
of money and trouble in the long run. I look at my gear now and it is all crap.
Cabelas rods which do not quite lay down a dry like a
T&T or sage, okuma reels(three of which whose
drags when to pieces on fish) which have drags that are not really adjustable
like a good reel, and tons of other value crap that I just do not want. Adding
up the prices of all this stuff and I could have bought a 4 and 5 wt T&T
that I want and a couple nice ross
reels to go along with them. It is like anything in life. You get what you pay
for. So in the spring I am doing what I should
have done in the first place. I am throwing it all out and replacing it. You guys
can keep your value stuff. All it has caused me is trouble. Ok I am done now, -sean -----Original Message----- I'm thoroughly impressed with the
machining and performance of the Redington GD series reel I bought
recently. It's a great reel with precision drag control at $100. Jim |
