They both do the exact same thing... if there's any visible difference, it's surely because of handling and not the method itself.
Mike...I didn't say it was Steve's hookup Yigal was using. I was saying if they happen to be roughly the same, I'd pick Yigal. You said it yourself, if there's a difference, it's due to handling, and I would like to know the smoother handling.
Lastly...Tarantula is a reel, whereas Fearsons is a hookup...I don't see how they can be similar in that respect.
And no, Yigal hasn't given credit or received permission to use Steve's hook-up.
Why would he? They are ENTIRELY different things.

NOT a reel
Not a spooler
NOT some pipe dream, gimmick or fad to lighten your wallet
And Tarantula clearly states:

Unless I'm completely stupid, it sounds like Fearson is saying his system is NOT a reel, and Yigal is saying Tarantula is a motorized reel. Seems like exact opposites, if ya ask me, Mike.
Please, before pointing fingers, do a bit of research.

Why is this in the product review section, and not the product question section...?
