1495 on the left, 1498 on the right.

I suppose the old fat chick would "work" as well for the night when you're closing down the bar. But you know that hot blonde in the corner could get the job done better and quicker. Why sacrifice when you get to choose?

Problem solved. Next question please.

About the same as Fredricks Colton on rods and reels for salt.

If you put a Medalist on a Colton rod, would it work or burst into flames?

lol Kray ,this is funny. hey i see the reels are mostly saltwater sized or geared towards..whats the deal? I am a Trout/Salmon/Steelhead first and foremost with Smallmouth/Largemouth/Stripers/Blues/Albies 2nd most.
if you want to do something great a click & pawl large arbor,or standard arbor would be nice.
just my .01 cents

Lmao thats a good one.Sorry Gfen but hes got a point.I have never tried a medalist,all my new trout reels are going to be click and pawl from now on.

Confusion. So a clicker works?

Anyways. Sandy said it first. I think I said, "anything works." I could be wrong, but I distinctly didn't just point out to buy a Medalist, for once.

Burst into flames. Everyone knows Medalists only work on bamboo and glass.
