For comparison,
Have you casted both static and knobby type on trinidad A reels. My one question would be, what were the differences in casting both, taking conditions into consideration?
Im looking for a second trinidad 16A( maybe even the NA) and would consider magging it, with either. We know the adjustability factor, but what else is there?
Morning -
Answer to Question ? Yes
I have cast both systems on the T-As aswell as numerous other models and brands of reels.
I had a conversation with someone which ended up on a field
with the two systems fitted to 2 Trini A's.
We threw different weights into a bit of wind and noted the different results.
Basically - if you disregard the aesthetic issues the knobbly mod has and concentrate on the control factors, you will realise that the reel becomes a little more user friendly with different loads in all sorts of conditions.
The more settings you have available ,the more control you have available .
If you are happy with one brake setting and a spool shaft control tension knob, statics are the way to go.
This is perhaps the better option for PSy - Cast a shimano DC and decide.
T A's are a SH1t reel to open if you want to adjust the static system. MisSion/vomit
- Knobblies give you a greater range of control over your reel IF you need it or you want it.
It Boils down to control - which I think is the answer to the question you posted - Control !
Grootvis - TRY GetHoldof a Shimano Trinidad DC 16 - IMO The most complete reel available. Well,.. sort of available.
