Overhead versus spinning reel
Greg Burt:
Andrew, I noticed the ratio mistake to late to do any thing about it as I had thrown out the box, as from day one I wanted 4.0-1. It's a good reel but to hard for jigging. I found the same with the Twinspin 30.
Cam I'll send the 'T' over with the Speros.

Round knobs for threadlines certainly......T-knobs for overhead & heavy jigs. Also, check your grip and gloves, you shouldn't be getting blisters......as you said, balls are better for spinners anyway.

Greg,
Me too. I own mostly high speed threadlines (GT's, 4500H etc) which I love for spinning lures (which is what I bought them for) but dont like them much for jigging, except for lighter lures 300g & below. Most of my surf casting overheads are high speed Saltist models which are great horizontally, but similarly no good for jigging.

Hi Andrew
Got to hop in here with an alternative view. A WELL maintained roller a/r bearing will not fail.

either way bearing is a vastly weaker AR system
