Hopefully the new model has a level wind.

I'm fairly certain it won't. I was talking to the gal at Thorne for quite awhile on Saturday debating if I'm going to stick with a Saltist or move to the Trinidad on a new rod I ordered. She said they've tried and tried to get Shimano to add a levelwind for the ski guys but so far Shimano hasn't determined that its worth all the engineering $$ to make the change. They never anticipated a saltwater reel being so popular.

On an slightly different note she mentioned they are coming out with another version of the Curado with a power handle. Not necessarily geared for big blades but better for bigger baits in general.

It's kind of a wish in one hand and c--p in the other, muskie fisherman are a very small market share overall. I don't think a levelwind is a big deal at all, so the line stacks up, it won't be on the next cast...since most are running them 2/3's full, room for the line to stack up.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
