My SEF 12x10 is on the way from KellyCo

Cool, another shipment in. I can say with me needing to fix that short behind the plug on my 12x10, I sorely miss that coil and it's only been a week or two since I had to put it on the shelf. I've been using the S-12 until I motivate myself to pull that cable apart and solder up/heat shrink the problem (which I'm going to try to do a video on), and all I can say is that I will not be buying a used S-12 to replace the loaner I have right now.
I had been thinking of at least getting one for my water rig so it would glide through the water easier than my 12x10, but after yet another long 8 or 9 hour hunt a few days ago I feel in *my* mineralized soils the 10" Tornado is deeper, separates better, and I like a few other things such as it's pin point mode traits over the S-12 I've been trying out.
So now I know for sure the 10" Tornado stays on my water rig, while the 12x10 stays on my land rig most of the time, and will only come off when using my new 8" Tornado for super heavy trash, or my future 13" Ultimate to replace the loaner of that coil I had, when I'm in the mood to cover large wide open fields or beaches even faster than the 12x10's nice improvement over stock in that respect.
The Ultimate coil also feels much lighter and "right" on the shaft to me than the S-12, and since they are very close to each other in weight like the 12x10 is too, I would have to assume it's the more aft mounting point of the S-12 that I'm feeling after a long hunt. Not uncomfortable, but just not as effortless to swing all day as the 12x10 or 13" Ultimate.
I've got a report on the last long hunt a few days ago with the S-12 and a few issues I had with it that firmed things up for me, and sooner or later I'll get around to posting that in the S-12 field report thread. Great coil? Sure, but I've been spoiled by the 12x10...
