    Raker 2 vs Raker HO

    Can someone tell me the difference in the two. Obviously the ho has adjustable vents, but how do the two compare and perform.

    I believe the vent is the only difference. I think Croxton confirmed this here someplace

    Anyone know if they're same grade stainless or if they're of a better quality

    I've had both. They looked and preformed exactly alike except for the vent holes. And the Raker 2 actually has more venting area than the HO with the adjustable holes.

    Can you elaborate on the "soft" metal? Is this good or bad? I just purchase an old Raker 2.

    The bend very easy so if you fish around stumps it's not good.
