Do the MD180 Turbo fins make it easier to drag a downrigger weight

Do the fins simply act like a higher gear on a bike where you pedal harder to go faster? I'm finding dragging a 4lb ball gets tiring with the standard MD180 ST fins after a long while. I kind of doubt you get more efficiency from the turbo fins, but I could be wrong. Can anyone tell me if by chance they do?

Switch over to turbo fins, i've using them on all my Hobie's since 2009. I pulled a yaker and his water filled kayak for over an hour.  The turbo fins made it easier.  Its going to make your 4 lb ball feel lighter.  Changing to spectra instead of wire cable will help too.

Ah nice, thanks FA!

Gotta get me some of those fins then.. time to shell out more cash, lol theyre so expensive for what they are..

I don't have the 180 drive, but I do have turbo fins on both of my GT drives. Turbo fins are an absolute must-have. They should be standard equipment, IMHO...

I have a 2010 outback, can I put turbo fins on my stock drive?

ThankS in advance,

Yes. You just have get the Turbo fins for your model of Mirage Drive. Call your dealer if you have any doubt.

What?!  And reduce their SKU count to streamline pricing for the consumer?  nonsense 

If you have any notion of trolling long distances, you MUST upgrade to turbo fins and the sailing rudder.  time to shell out, but yes, it'll totally b worth it
