dustin11 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 I just saw that Tackle warehouse had the T3's and T3 ballistics on sale for 50% off. I'm adding a T3 to my christmas list. What are you all's opinion on these reels? Quote

dustin11 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Posted December 9, 2013 Thanks for the reply. I didn't see your post, sorry. I just figured I would let people know. Quote
bass1980 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Ordered two. Been messing around with one I already got. Excellent reel for the price. If it wasn't Christmas season I would get 2 more! Can't wait until this sub zero weather goes away so I can really use it on some Smallies. Quote
KritterGitter Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Lol I just ordered mine for a Christmas present, it should be here on Friday. Read good reviews and I figured couldnt beat the price!! Quote
Grantman83 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 Got mine ready and raring to go after I sold my tatula Quote

Grantman83 Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 The front part of the reel was very wide and the brake dial isn't recessed like the zillion...I didn't even cast it because I didn't like how it palmed. The brake dial rubbed against my finger. I palm with my pointer finger along the side of the reel so the extra wideness in front and jutting brake dial were just comfortable for me Quote
KritterGitter Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Received mine in today, gotta say its looking and feeling pretty good, got it all spooled up and ready to go for the weekend. Only complaint so far is, why are the knobs riveted on? They def gotta go... Quote

The T3 ballistic 100HSL, even though I got it for a good price, the retail of it you would assume it would have changeable knobs...Oh well got the confirmation the Hawgtech handle will fit the T3 Ballistic so that'll be next on the list... 2 Quote

mjseverson24 Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I don't mind the factory handle, for flippin and pitching with the 8:1 gear ratio you don't spend much time reeling... if i had the 6:1 gears and used it as a caster it might be better to upgrade the handle... Mitch Quote
BassCats Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Just got mine in and love it so far. Only got to throw it a few times to test brake systems out before rain hit. Quote
