chilliblanket Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 I was just wondering if there was any performance difference between the pt and pts. I noticed when looking at the specs on the side of the box of the pts, bearings were described as a 9 bearing system. The pt on the other hand, was described as 9 pt bearing system. Is there a difference in the quality of these two bearings? I believe the pts might have seals or something to prevent corrosion, does this affect casting distance or fluidity? Please excuse the fact that i cant spell in the title... Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 I believe the s in PTs stands for salt and that the main difference is the finish. There may be other small differences in component material but I don't think the bearings are different. If they are any different casting shouldn't be any affected either way. Quote

Yes the S in the PTs stands for the saltwater version of the reel. Quote
chilliblanket Posted December 14, 2011 Author Posted December 14, 2011 yeah, sorry for the confusion, but i was aware that the pts was the saltwater version. I was just wondering if along with exterior changes for corrosion resistance, there were changes in the bearings to prevent the salt from entering. On top of that, i wanted to make sure that the smoothness and fluidity was not worse in the pts than it is in the pt. Quote
Mils Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 i have many of both the pt and pts, honestly i do not see a performance difference at all. they are both great reels before i bought the pts I was using just the pt at the coast and never had a problem out of them at all, great reels Quote
