Hi Tak,
what are the differences between   "diablo" models and normal models for GT-Y?
I've got 2 "quality 1" model (200) and 3 "diablo" model (160 and 140). Except for different colors, I did not notice differences in the quality of construction and finish.

Hi Antonino,

The biggest difference between those models are number of coating. Diablos are built for more action specific
Rather than durability.

With quality of lures, all Carpenter lures are built at own factory in Japan under very high quality control and they sometime have What they call Quality 1 grade lures. This is purely cosmetic grade and not for lure action or construction. It is by very very minor cosmetic error and you won't notice the difference unless you know where to look for.

Cheers,
Tak

Interesting Tak, I have been wondering why Konishi san would name a lure after the devil, maybe as it is so deadly on GT's.
