Drag clicker sounds good

I did extensive tast cast testing of the Arise Air against the Dark Wolf Ultra this morning in ideal , windless conditions. The results are that using a Trout magnet, 1/16th, 1/8th and 1/4 oz casting weights, there is virtually no difference in distance they can cast. The Arise seems smoother and better built, but in actual use it would be hard to tell which was which if I was blindfolded. For my casting style, the pluses of the Arise are the appearance, workmanship, nice loud drag clicker and expected durability. The minuses are the price, non-clicking spool tension knob, tiny, hard to adjust (because of their size) internal and external anti-backlash controls. Charlie's casting style is different than mine and he might note different results, but I doubt the will get an Air model to test since the new dynamic anti-backlash system doesn't seem like a significant advance over a well tuned Magtrax. If I was just getting started in BFS and the $40.00 difference in price between the DWU and Arise Air was not a big deal, I would get the Arise for the looks, feel and expected durability (and the fact that it won't turn olive drab in color like the DWU). Otherwise, the DWU is a great reel that will be very satisfactory.

No need to add extra magnets on the elite? Looks like it’s solid out of the box
