7 HT Turbo,
Had my first few casts of it last night.
Placed the same brake block that I have in my other original 7HT and adjusted the end caps to similar position.
The reel is a lot faster than the original; line began to lift while I was trying soft casts.
I found the harder I hit the cast the smoother the reel worked and the line remained constant on the spool and didn’t lift.
The reel does scream when you cast though but not in a bad way
Retrieve is up a small bit on the original and adequate for clean ground.
The handle is also a bit longer and easier on the wrists. It is also more comfortable to hold on the fingers.
The Drag also appears to be stronger under pressure too.
I like it
