Livliner Posted August 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) Line was different, and altered the distance. All things being equal the Ultegra will outcast the VSX. However, that morning after making several casts in the backyard with the Ultegra I had a bowl of Cherrios and then casted with the VSX. Advantage VSX.

Livliner Posted August 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) With regard to humping the spool. Could the same results be had by wrapping tape around center part of spool before spooling the mono backing to create the hump, seems that would be easier if self-spooling. Also when determining spool finished height you would guesstimate from center of hump to spool edge?

Ba Ba Buoy Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I don't notice much of a distance gain in the Ultegra Ci4 vs. VSX either... I am an admitted crappy caster but shouldn't it improve even the crap caster's distance?

Also when determining spool finished height you would guesstimate from center of hump to spool edge? Forming the hump is easier with mono backing since you can create a smoother shape. And yes it's a guesstimate as to shape/height of the hump. Most tackle shops can do this for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avet4life Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 since i have the vsx100 and a vs150,, checking the schematic on the vs100 and vs150 share the traverse and main gear. 1. the traverse on the vsx will not work on the vs, because of the main gear. see pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
