Seems to be quite a bit of talk about coils for the 75 LTD lately (particularly the 10X12 SEF).----I don't know if it (10X12) is going to increase performance over the already EXCELLENT 11" DD stock coil on the 75 or not.------BUT, I can tell you this--it IS going to increase weight out there on the end of that "stick".---11" DD (17 oz)------10X12 SEF (24 oz).------What I would rather see them come out with is a 6X8 SEF (weighs 18 oz) for the 75.----That coil is an EXCELLENT coil ( for it's size).----It works trash very well & still gets you decent depth.------We got more targets in the trash than we do half way to China guys.----------Del

Coils

I'm with your thinking Del. Besides the great performance of the F 75/LTD, I like its light weight. Like you, I find many more good targets nestled with some kind of junk then I do at extreme depths. Although the LTD will certainly get down there. Both the small coils now available are great little coils in their own right. HH jim tn
I forgot to mention in my original post---the coil cover for the 10X12 SEF weighs 3 oz (coil without cover is 21 oz).----A tip for anyone wanting to use this coil & hold down the weight--try running it without a coil cover.----I did this with this coil on my Etrac & it definitely DOES make a difference (weight wise).-----If you don't believe this--try useing this coil on an extended hunt with the coil cover on & then take it off and hunt with it a bit. 
---I'm not a weak person (at least for my age) but for me, on this particular coil, the coil cover stays off. 
----And no, you're not gonna wear the bottom of the coil out!---If that's got you concerned--give it a quick spray coat of a good (non-metalized) bed liner spray---not 3 or 4 coats now or you're gonna have the weight right back up there again.----All this is if you plan on keeping the coil---if you think you may sell it later, by all means, keep the (included) coil cover on!----Enough ramblings of an old man!
