Re: Why I'm Rethinking the Duotone Click Bar
I overcame my OCD for matching brands for kite and bar, and am now using the Click Bar with my Drifters and Switchblades.
It's actually lighter than the Overdrive bars. Little bit narrower, but it doesn't seem to matter much; I've widened my grip to compensate. More throw which is nice on the foil, as is the bar stopper in light winds.
Still not a huge fan of the actual trim mechanism
but with the additional bar throw, I trim even less that I used to ... so basically never now.
But sweet jesus it's so nice having auto unspin on a bar again...!
