You mean they are changing to spools that Daiwa have used on their reels for years.I thought Shimano always said line lay makes the biggest difference to distance not the longer spools

I was told by (I don't own a tackle shop) take the piss all you want, that shimarno replace their models every year and the best time to buy them is around March as they move on old stock. As for fox well they always trying to move on old stock

Whenever a company uses the words high quality in the first line of their sales pitch you and they both know it really isn't.

Fox have always churned out pretty bad reels, these wont be any different, even though they do look like carbon copies of many other identical but equally mediocre line gathering devices
Are you sure?
