| I have a Trinidad 14 right now and have been happy with it. I am thinking about adding another Trinidad and am looking at both the 12 for the small size and the 16N because of the faster speed. What would everyone recommend? |

| PikeMaster...it has 48" at a FULL spool..have you tested yours to see how many inches it is bringing in? If you do have a full 48" the way you have it spooled I imagine your arm will look like Popeyes...
I have a 16N that I have filled about 3/4 full...I measured the pickup at about 33" and that to me is perfect for ease of use and still being able to kick it down when needed...far faster than conventional, 975/ TE type reels... |

Location: Latitude 41.3016 Longitude 88.6160 | bn NO I have not tested to see how much the line pickup is. I have my filled with 100# braid and about a little over 3/4 full, I try to keep the line very tight on the spool, I only use it for DCG10-13. I'm surprize that it is only around 33", boy will it burn a DCG10-13 !!!! I make alot of my DCG10-13 and have to add weight to the bucktail to keep them down with this reel. I see that SHIMANO rates it at 46" not 48"

| you are probably bringing in the same amount of line as I am...32-34...
plenty fast...
if you fill it full it actually is a b*tch to reel and doesn't spool as well... |
