alexgee Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Anyone get a chance to fish the new ss250? If so how does the action compare to the og? Someone told me they come up fast to top water and start to wake? Not sure if I should pull the trigger on one of these just yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

migmig Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I got a bbtrout at the fred hall show on wed but havent had time to get out on the water. Ill let you guys know tomorrow. Flipping it was never a thought if I ever need money I go work instead of giving my shifts away to go fish. llPa1nll, alexgee and tsteadyslayin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishfrenzy Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I took mine out yesterday it seems to be lighter and sink slower. I wasn't letting it sink down that long. When I retireved the bat it was running about a foot under the surface but not waking. It swims and turns nicley at differnt speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcolo4sho Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Every new Deps 250 on the BM has been sold at retail or very close to it. There shouldn't be any complaints there. I get mine tomorrow. I'll take it down to a local pond and toss it and also provide review information.

hookedup Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I got a Japanese color a couple weeks ago and fished it for a day. It is lighter and sinks slower. On the retrieve mine would rise to the surface no matter how slow or fast I reeled and a lot of the times would make a wake on the surface and I couldn't keep the bait down. I felt like it helicoptered more on casts but it could be I just needed to fish it more to get the feel for it. It glides really wide, maybe wider than the originals and like the original you can fish it at any speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicknick222 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I think the slower sink has to do with the fact that they took into account butch's tuning and they made it more similar to that out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgee Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Damn that's not good for me since I like to fish mine fast. Hopefully there is an easy way to tune it so it stays under water and doesn't start coming up to the surface. I thought they were 6oz.?

Shaunfishon Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I Fished mine this weekend and first impression is the OG's are better. The new ones sink real slow and when fishing they do come up real easy. IT does glide really well. I was fishing it on 25# mono. I switched to 20# mono and it didn't seem to rise up as easy but 20 can be kinda sketch to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llPa1nll Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Am I wrong, but I thought I heard that the new 250s had a way of altering their glide? I hope this doesnt turn into that these are just running to shallow out of the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this doesnt turn into that these are just running to shallow out of the box I know I read that you can alter the width of the glide by adjusting the joint.....not sure if ROF is adjustable with a stock mechanism or if you need to just tune it like the OG.

llPa1nll Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I hope this isn't the case. I was hoping to get a new one, but now I think I am going to hold off until I see a lot more people give their feedback. Glad I jumped on a OG when the prices were coming down. godzilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this doesnt turn into that these are just running to shallow out of the box I want to say that you are able to back the screws out in the joint, creating greater space and increasing the glide. I've yet to hold one or talk to anyone specifically about it since they've been released though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
