Which is the better coil on the Etrac? SEF 8x6 or the Coiltek 5x10.

Looking for the coil for fence work and the edges of places where the 11" Pro coil wouldn't be the best choice. I know folks generally like the SEF 8x6 but I thought I'd ask about the Coiltek.

Thanks
Mike

The SEF is deeper to me seperation about the same. cheaper too..

Coiltek for some reason feels heavy..the sef does not..

Although the Coiltek may not umbrella to the sides as much as the SEF???

Another one that you will like especially for bleacher and fence work is the 4.5x7 excelerator....Very tight..good depth..

Coiltek 5x10 outright sucks on FBS machines - very poor depth/weak.

4.5x7" EQ DD is an excellent trash/iron sifting coil and gets good depth for size

sef 8x6 very good coil too = good all arounder coil

Thank you all. I didn't want to make a mistake and it sounds like I almost did with the CoilTek.

Of those two, the 8X6 SEF all the way.-----I thought I heard Kellyco stopped selling SEF coils though?----If so, does anyone else sell them (stateside)?

6x8 SEF is on my Explorer SE 99% of the time. It's my all time favorite coil for FBS machines.
