CZ21 users, I have a question

[dc426]

I'm seriously considering buying a CZ21. The question is which coil to go with 8 or 10? I'm used to swinging an 8" Sand Shark and that cuts through the water like a hot knife through warm butter. Which coil is deeper and what other advantages are there? Thanks

A 10.5 inch covers more ground and I love it. I also DIVE. Waders think its hard to push through the water. Although I do have a wading friend that uses one and loves it. I used to use an 8" one to flatten weeds and hunt in them and it worked great for me. I picked a lot of gold out of weedbeds. I dive in the weeds now and its easy for me to push them over. 10" is suposed to get deeper also. No idea, had both and don't remember a difference.

GL with whatever you get. If you wade with the 10" you will build up and have no trouble after a few dozen days of swinging.

I like the 8 inch ... mine is on an older CZ20. The 10.5 inch coil has more water drag and the 8 inch also handles trashier areas better. 10.5 inch should be a little deeper, but the 8 inch gets very good depth too. Both the 8 inch and 10.5 inch coils are much thicker in profile than the Sand Shark coils and give more drag than that thin coil. The Sand Shark is a very easy to swing and well balanced set up, but you dig a lot of iron, even when walking away from definite double blip targets.

I like the 10 on the wetsand, and the 8 in the water.

I like the 8" fw for wading or wading and diving, but using my AT Pro now for wading hotter on small gold. Only my opinion.

My last message got messed up hope you can figure it out.

I bought the 10.5" and I feel like it was the worse mistake in buying the CZ21. I should have bought the 8" and I believe I would have had better success with the unit.

I decided to go with the 8". Thanks for all the input!
