emblem vs wincast
mate have played with the windcast as i was going to purchase one but after having a play couldnt see the point in purchasing one as my emblem pro feels so much better and has never missed a beat ... go the emblem

I have the emblem
I have the emblem pro,windcast z 5500 and a saltiga surf,i use them all, for big baits/big sinkers the saltiga surf excels and is excellent,For poppers,metals etc i now use the windcast as i really like the gear ratio (bit lower than emblem pro)Really depends what you want to do.I rate the windcast better than emblem pro imho,PM me if you have any other questions

What colour is the new emblem pro?Usa is bringing out the emblem pro-a which looks alot more like a windcast than the old emblem pro and has a windcasts gear ratio.Used my windcast over the weekend and it was fantastic
