Its like when the auto manufacturers wrap the cars in black stuff to disguise them when they are out testing them.

Sorry about that, you are right it is the bb-1 inshore not super duty, the guy I get lews stuff from said it looked just like the super duty but inshore. My bad. No worries. I was actually thinking that maybe you saw that one Super Duty the guy put the blue accent kit on, which looks sexy as hell, ...

Never seen it.

I voted for Tatula Type-R. As a long time Shimano user, this reel impresses me every time that I use it. A great and smooth caster, and a very smooth retrieve. Some don't like the size, but it really isn't any bigger than a Zillion.

I have the Super Duty.............As far as performance to the Tatula, there is no comparison. . Super Duty V.S. Tatula R ? Or TP1H V.S. Tat ? I'm asking because I'm ont the fence in regards to purchasing a Tatula type R. I own 5 TP's and held a Tat R, there is a significant weight difference and p...

Regarding the Lews issues with the knobs. I have the Super Duty, and after about a few weeks of use the knobs peeled. Yes, they were replaced for free, and in a very timely manner. As far as that goes, the new replacements are peeling too. Whatever, its only knobs, and I hate the slim knobs anyway. ...

That's funny. I was looking for that thread and I couldn't find it. I remember I had asked before. Oh well. Had a moment, lol.

Shimano 200B Date code AL-S. Can somebody tell me when this thing was made?

Not for nothing, but cant you just use a little spool tension to fine tune with the VBS? I mean, its almost the same theory. I think its just another "how to catch a fisherman" story.

I used my 200E7 for 5 years to frog fish. I have just recently retired it to a display queen to honor its duty . I now have a Lews Super Duty mounted on a Dobyns Champion736 with 65# braid. Very impressed with this setup as well. We shall see just how "Super" it really is.

I see some of you have the stands the baitcasters mount onto to display them. Where do you find these things? I have a CuradoB and CuradoE that I want to retire and put on display. Possibly a few other reels as well.

Yup, HawgTech.

Good God MAN!!

It all comes down to personal preference and feel. Will they both get the job done, yes.

Nice stuff there
