Thread: Pulling Cranks 101

That'll work. I do, however really like the thumb bar, started with all 15's and switched to the 20's a couple years ago but the 15's will work fine.

Okay, I've seen you say this several times. What are you talking about??? I have bought more than a dozen of the 20's over the years (seems they are always out of the 15's when I try to order) and there is no thumb bar on any of mine. They are identical to the 15's except for size, far as I can tell.

there is a little plastic piece on top of the reel on the left side to rest your thumb. we dont have it on the 15's it covers up the bar that holds the 2 sides together

Okay, not really what I consider a thumb bar. My baitcasters have a thumbar that releases the spool. That bar on the okuma's does nothing.

right just a bar to rest your thumb on. but now we have pics of both for future reference

Saw creekslick at the ramp today. He has some smooth as silk, low profile baitcasters that have a digital counter on them...SWEEET!

Yep, high dollar Daiwas, sweet.

I saw somewhere someone post that they put cut pvc on the spool so they wouldn't use so much line. Any of yall seen this.?
