    Red one TM cable upgrade.

    Is anyone running a Red One TM cable cable on their Ultrex / Fortrex? If so, how do you like it? I picked one up but am not sure if I really want to use it. For the cost it should never break right?

    Great addition and really can tell a difference with no stretch. So my advice just do it.

    The red one is legit. Great customer service as well.

    What is the difference between the G-Force handle and the Red One ? They both have a wire pull.

    Yes both have a SS cable. The Red one has a hadle that comes with a holder for when it is stowed and you are running the lake or driving so it isn't flopping around. It also has a tapered sleeve to reduce wear. It is a little pricey. I got mine during the Tackle Warehouse 20% Black Friday sale. Still not cheap.

    Ultrex comes with a steel cable so the red one would be in my opinion a waste of money

    I just assumed it wasn't a steel cable. I will probably just go with the factory one then. Thanks for pointing that out. I haven't got my boat rigged yet so I haven't actually used the Ultrex before. My last boat had a Terrova on it so no rope / cable at all.

    I wouldn't hesitate to put it on - the stainless bushing along with the handle holder makes it the best
