Re: High Performance Reels
Well Bob....now you can teach me something. Explain the "mechanical" SV4. How does it work. All of this time I believed it was magnetic. And I will agree that the Scorp 1000 is not the smoothest of reels. There is "noise that you can feel" in the reel. I would love to have an Antares AR. That reel is the smoothest I have ever felt. But that extreme smoothness will run me $400.00. Maybe someday. The longer handle will change the ipt (inches per turn) on the reel. The speed will increase. Maybe not that much, but it will increase. But hey, I have always preached that it is the individual that controls the speed of the reel. If you fish with intensity, then it should not be a problem. Water will not bother the SV4. I have proven that to my self time and again. Of course I believe in a clean reel. Equipment performing at its peak is always a plus. But you cannot keep dirt from the reel by putting teflon tape on the spool. Water will always find a way in no matter what you do. Maintenance is the key. And regardless of how you or I do it.... at least we can both agree on that my friend.
