Thank you for the reply.

I can't believe no one has compared these two, not even the admin.

Which do you prefer? I'm a daiwa guy big time and love how the steez and also the alphas pitch. Especially the steez. I'm thinking about trying a 51e but thought maybe I should consider the smoke also. Also bps and tackle warehouse have two different line capacities for the smoke 100. Bps has 12/105...

I like the feel of the acs but not the extra weight. I haven't got my hands on the new seat yet.

I'm about 100% certain those are knock offs. I'd be very afraid to take the risk.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was the blank flexing in the reel seat.

It's just hard to believe if it's been neglected in one area it hasn't been in another. The motor scares me...

I like how this gets bumped to the top by admin here but at a certain other site you'd be lucky not to get banned posting something like this lol. I agree. I don't know why it was made a sticky. Sounds personal to me. I actually meant that as praise for the admin here. On another site if they were ...

I buy from them occasionally but I try to avoid it. The shipping is nuts. They have basically become big enough that they don't need good service. I like how this gets bumped to the top by admin here but at a certain other site you'd be lucky not to get banned posting something like this lol.

If selling stuff was like kicking butt Froteur would be Chuck Norris.

I thought they were going out of business?
