hello, for some reason I ended up with a North Vegas 2010 10m, unfortunately without bar (and requesting the 5th line).Does anybody have any idea if it would work fine with newer North bars with 5 lines?

... yes,,,, but not perfectly like a 2010 bar would.

It's nit picking but the Y distance (ie where the front lines split) is not quite the same on the newer bars compared to the older bars so the trim of the kite is just a tad bit out so if you're familiar with the 2010 Vegas then you will be able to feel the difference. Mate of mine had the same question recently but on a 12m so we tried the newer bar and yep, feels different.

We trimmed the bar a tad and got it better to feel like he likes it i.e. under the bar ends, re-positioned the back lines by one knot.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Robert.

Thank you very much Robert, I appreciate!Indeed, even comparing the bars displayed on the manuals, the Y is different.Your experience and suggestions are really helpful! Thanks
