hasjust a little less drag at strike and full and is much better priced. I'm not going to tell anybody on here what to get because it's their choice to buy what they want. Would i recommend this reel? Absolutely, but i would recommend others first.
This would be 250 dollars more for the rod with the adjusti butt, part number <a href="https://www.tackledirect.com/tackledirect-tdps645080wtsin-terminator-platinum-hook-rod.html" style="background-color:rgb(236,237,239);color:rgb(35,82,124);font-family:A
