Comment by Dwayne Denison on January 13, 2012 at 7:29am: David, so true

Jeff, welcome aboard

John, thanks, problem is I have 3 that size and have to make another.

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on January 13, 2012 at 6:27am: I never really got the dorky thing. Here we have a device that does all its predecessors did, while handily improving at least one aspect of both....and we think it "dorky!"
The ability we men have to welcome the complex over sublime function never fails to baffle me.

Comment by Jeff Soto on January 12, 2012 at 7:44pm: I hate to admit this, (and don't let my fishing buddies know) but I actually have a few spincasters that I enjoy using! I know they are dorkey, but they are fun to use and perform pretty good!

Comment by John Sheehan on January 12, 2012 at 7:25pm: Cool rod racks!

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on January 11, 2012 at 6:10pm: @ Dwayne - that's the way I remember them - black plastic.

Comment by Dwayne Denison on January 11, 2012 at 3:25pm: Some of my spincasters. The black 202, I have had since I was a kid

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on January 8, 2012 at 5:25pm: My only comparison can be on the Zebco microcast series and with no questions the Zebco 11 Gold has fished better than the standard...example for me is the line pick up.....the standard required me to place tension on the line to start pick-up but not on the gold series yet.....I'm hoping the durability will be there....

Comment by Dwayne Denison on January 8, 2012 at 5:09pm: Jeff, is there any difference in the gold and platinum, compared to standard? I know they have more bearing, but do they work bettter?

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on January 8, 2012 at 5:07pm: Another decent microcast in my arsenal....made by Shakespeare and I fish this one with four pound test.....smallest line I ever use with all my "river monsters" lurking....LOL
