I do like my 8" Tornado coil

This little coil works awesome in the surf and fast water.

Impressive finds, Terry

I have a 10", but am thinking of getting an 8"...I like to hunt in rocky areas. and get deep into the spaces between the rocks.

Very Nice!!

Just a question: in your opinion, is it the coil or the machine that can do the most to improve your odds?
I know "slow and steady", but does a new hyped up coil make a huge difference on the bottom line?

Nice finds looks like its working great for you..Do you use the 8 in Tornado on your Sovereign?? I am considering one for my sovereign XS my stock BBS 800 is bad..

I have an excalibur with the 8" coil and I love how smooth it works!
Best of Luck out there!

Dog gone wished i could like my 8". Nothing wrong with the coil at all.... great depth, sensitivity, and runs very smooth. Coil tech is changing quickly so yes a coil or headphones can improve your finds. Few years back the PRO coil, SEF and some 12" coils came out...... they made a big difference in coverage, sensitivity for the size of coil, and were more stable. Joe did a great job on getting my 8" all set up.......... but i look down those long beaches of ours with all that renurished or moved in sand and i cant bring myself to grab that machine. For working an area with some trash or rock i would. But here i need the depth and havent found the 8" to be anymore sensitive. So i go for coverage and depth.

Lorraine..I also like the rocky areas .... the rocks seem to trap all the good stuff from sinking, I find the 8" is more manageable than my 10" or 12". These Sovereign coils will be much harder to come by soon.

For the area I was in ... it was more manageable than my 10" or 12" coils.

I too... would not dream of using this little puck on wide open spaces...
