Hi Mark,
Still worried about those prehistoric Dans gett’in your finger eh?
Well they will ... so be careful.
Fish,
The Rocna is almost bullet proof. Unless you get into slime type mud or ultra short scope.
The Spade is bullet proof as far as I know. Haven’t used either one but read extensively on both.
Because the Spade has the ballast pound for pound the Spade will have a bit less fluke area. Probably a wash. But setting performance is more important anyway. There the weighted tip may be an advantage. But from all I’ve read and heard you’ll not be disappointed in the Spade. You may be interested in knowing that the Frenchman that designed the Spade went to some trouble testing fluke shape and concluded that concave shape was harder to break out. You’ll also notice the Rocna Vulcan is almost a mirror image of the Spade. They were impressed too.
Yes you did good.
