Have 8” and 5” (waterproof?) coils for my CZ7a Pro. What would I gain by buying a 10.5” coil for it?

Wondering what practical advantage the 10.5” has over the two smaller coils. The 5” is a solid white coil, which appears to be sealed against water; for surf hunting?
I’ve only been using the 8” coil and it’s working well.

Thanks for sharing your insights and experiences.

The 8” coil is excellent for coin shooting on land . The 10.5 “ coil is just to heavy. You would probably benefit on the beach with it.

Increased depth, more coverage and a sore arm. Maybe it would be good in the water. For me the weight of the coil is the most important consideration when considering comfort.

I found the 10.5 inch has too much water drag for me to use in the water and thus use the 8 inch coil. On the open sand the 10.5 covers more ground and is a little deeper; although the 8 inch coil is very good. For land hunting I nearly always use the 8 inch coil and found few places I'd consider the bigger coil. In very trashy areas the 5 inch goes on. If you are going to do a lot of beach sand hunting, picking up the 10.5 inch coil might be a good option, other wise you are equipped well as you are now.
