Location: On the water | It's worth it. Just got mine 2 weeks ago. I have the 16NA really great reel! Much smoother than the old trini's. |

Location: Latitude 41.3016 Longitude 88.6160 | When I got my Shimano Trinidad 16NA, I looked at the schmatics and I could not find any spool brakes on the side of the spool on the schmatics, so I called my friend at Shimano and ask if the schmatics where missing the spools brakes and he said the the new Trinidad A have no spool brakes, that they lighted up the spool by over 20 %, which made them not put any spool brakes on the new Trinidad's. The newTrinidad A reels have only a spool tension knob to control overruns. All I can say is my new Trinidad 16NA will out cast my old gold one and I have less backlashes. Good work Shimano, now hurry up with the new low-profile 500 size reel that will go head to head with the TORO, maybe this year at ICAST ?????? |

Did your friend give you any idea if there will be multiple gear ratios on this reel the way the Revo Toro has multiple gear ratios? |

I hope it does, but Shimano definitely hasn't made a habit out of doing that. I hope they just make it to get 34+ a crank (wishful thinking, but it's possible) so it can burn big blades. A big blade burner with the convenience of a low-profile (thumb-bar, levelwind, comfortable) would be awesome. |
