Thanks for the responses. I just ordered the Freak with Frictionite from Bass Pro. They actually had them on sale.I was not sure if I should get the Frictionite or the Crystal. I went with the Frictionite because it seemed to get the most positive reviews from other hunters. Hopefully I picked the right one. Also, is there any inside secrets I should now about using it or maintaining it. Is the striker that comes with it ok? Thanks again.
