I thought that the counterweight was as you described, but wanted to be sure. The dual rollers is one thing I am having a hard time getting used to. I thought I would love it, but it causes me more problems than it is worth. The biggest issue I have is knowing which roller to pull the line off of in the dark. Sounds like a minor thing, but it has bothered me enough to considder removing one.
The reel is silver. Let me know if the knob you have is silver and maybe I can grab it this weekend at the breakfast on Sunday when Newport hands over the MS trophy to the CT Surfcasters...  |
I'm struggling with the dual rollers as well. As weird as it sounds I wish the reel was stiffer. Sometimes the rotor moves when I'm about to cast and I have to stop to double check that my line isn't going to catch on the roller and send my plug or eel over the horizon during a cast. I've had the same night time issue as you also.
I think the knob is silver and I'll most likely be at the breakfast. While 2 years has been a good run I don't think we're ready to give up the trophy just yet. Newport FTW, once again... Now we just have to figure out how to do better in the fall. Not being able to fish our home territory really slows us down.
