Re-posting this thread after receiving a PM from a member this morning wondering where it went. I thought maybe I had posted a "Ford vs. Chevy" type of thread and pulled it thinking it might be an irrelevant topic to most...but here it is again.
I've just begun casting the Nextcast FF70's on a couple of rods (Sage 8150 & 9150iiie). I'm using a 7/8 on the 8150 and a 9/10 on the 9150. For me...simply amazing what they've done for my ability to cast a long line. My question revolves around the Nextcast FF70's as I typically fish longer rods with a dry line. For tips I would grab a delta or delta long multi tip and probably an 8136 or 9140 for the rod.
Finally the question...
I have acquired a few of the GPS's in recent months as I was in the right place at the right time and bought them. Paid handsomely, but these are the "famed CND GPS" after all. At least that was my thinking as there is always a feeding frenzy over them when they show up. I've not lined a reel / rod with one as of yet and it's going to be a while til I get the chance. Knowing that the Nextcast is a head and not looped for tips like the GPS, are there situations / circumstances / technique advantages to the GPS versus the Nextcast? I guess in a nutshell...am I missing some sort of benefit that the GPS has to offer over the FF70? All insight greatly appreciated...
