Agreed. Lol, so far I cannot argue with it. Spooled up, and made a couple casts out in the yard. everything was super smooth, no visible line memory or Coiling from the line. So safe to say I don’t think its wanting to come off the spool. which set my mind at ease. Overall I think I’m going to enjoy it.

Awesome, thank you everyone. I’m grateful for your comments, and I think its safe to say. I am going to try it out on my new avid panfish rod paired with a Piscifun x1000. Should be able to get into some fun while perch fishing this opener on leech lake.

Thanks. I did just that and it happens to be an 85.

Haven’t had a chance to see it in person just yet. So i have no idea what the HIN is. figured it would be a longshot, but im just excited and was hoping to get some early answers. lol.

I’ve worn nothing but the striker climate bibs personally the last few years, and I absolutely love them. Dont believe i’ve ever been cold in them once, but Then again I have heard nothing but great things about Simms challenger insulated bibs. Lol. So it’d be a toss up for me if i were to ever get a new pair. especially with each pair being roughly the same price
