I've been fishing the Triple longer so that obviously makes a difference. But I've been to DVL on numerous trips where I stuck with the Rago all day and my brother threw the Triple and he absolutely kicked my ass. It's weird because that Raptor looks 10 times better than the Triple Trout. I've also had a problem with my Raptor breaking. On a regular cast, I tossed it out and came back with half the bait missing. Note: Rago was great about replacing the bait. If I was into trolling, I think I would throw the Raptor more.
