    difference between reels

    What is the difference between the Sr. Reel and the Sr. Tech Reel? The website doesn't explain the differences that I could find.

    Thanks

    Rick, I love my Manta Sr and had a Jr but help us out here... the only difference is the "clip"...??? Trust me, I am not trying to be a smarta$$ cause when I looked up the spec's that is all I could tell... However, my company is a guilty as anybody when it comes to "cut and paste"...

    Edited; I finally noticed the difference in line length...! Pretty sure they are wrong as it shows the Sr at 24 with only 250' when I am pretty sure mine came with 600'...
