If I needed a new baitcaster, that would be the one I'd buy! Big Pflueger fan, love their reels, they make decent rods too.

[Fishie1]

sorta looks like a diawa revo......that is one of the hottest among the pro's they haven't even hit market yet

[bassboogieman]

$10 cheaper than the Supreme, not bad for a high-speed reel!

[dodgeguy]

supreme has 1 more bearing but i like this better.i think it looks nicer and it's lighter.

[Fishie1]

hey pick me up one of those....oh and pick up the tag..lol jk.

[ILfishinman]

it looks sexy, but that viento one looks real nice too but 200 bones is way too much

[zooker]

i will keep on keeping the 3 trions i own got a new reel recently for $59 at bps lefty only reel

zooker

[dodgeguy]

i have trions also.both round and narrow low profile.they are great reels for the $!!!

[ToPwAt'R GuY]

Im a quantum guy but that looks like a good reel.

[Vabass22]

Yeah I think Quantum, Daiwa, and Pfleuger, make the best reels hands down.

[flbassman]

Quantum? BLEARGH! Daiwa, shimano and Abu are the way to go.

[Vabass22]

Here we go again, I was hoping someone wouldn't mention shimano.......
(I don't have anything against them, but others do)

[FlyRod]

Looks like a nice Curado 200D-series copy. I've heard enough sincere praise for the upper end Floogs to believe that this is, indeed, a good reel. Best part? It's not disgustingly overweight and overpriced like the new 'Rados. (Note: The new series 100D is not overweight, just overpriced.)

About that "FREE" T-shirt offer...7 bux for shipping a T-shirt that is worth 4 bux at best. Friends, NO T-shirt has EVER been "A 19.95 value!" unless it was made of material woven from the er, um...fuzz...of 13 year old virgins from Arkansas...and we know how rare THEY are!
Now, if it had my picture on it?... Start the bidding at Five Thousand!

FLYROD,
Your picture is already on the wall of post offices, and it is a lot less than $5,000!

If I didn't already have a rod locker full of Curado's, I would look very seriously at the Pfleuger Supreme or President. I gave them a good going over at Cabela's in KC a couple weeks ago. That is one smooth reel. I may try to justify one this winter for my top water rod, but then I would have to buy another rod to put the Curado on. DAMN, I hate it when that happens!!!
Maybe some kind soul will offer me $100 apiece for my Curado's!

Jackl,

I think you misspelled your home state...Starts with "Ar..."

On a more positive note, perhaps a C#...I had the privilege of serving at Fort Riley, '68-'69, and I loved the area. Some nice folks, good hunting and fishing, and GREAT Tank Country.
The KSU babes weren't bad either.

now fl i use way to many quatums to be turned off..i own three of the four brands mentioned. all have there good points and a couple have there faults. diawa and quatum are almost dead even..quatums are a good deal smoother.where diawa has a better/smoother drag/braking system.. abu's are not very smooth-and never really have been..a shimano i don't/wont own..

jackl
i will give you $1.35 each for your shimano reels the going price on 4 oz surf casting weights.. as they might be good at stopping the dredded tride drag..

[pig n jig]

Dodge, I will let you know how the pfluegers hold up. My friend got a sponsorship with them from his All star sponsorship.I am switching gears towards the new Abu Garcia Revo reels.They all look alike anymore. Lol........ P N J

[flbassman]

In all fairness, I've only used one quantum baitcaster. Didn't like it much. Had two spinners though, and I had major drag problems....

Why is it that you always say here we go again, or think people are arguing over this issue. People are stating what "THEIR" preferences are. Some more adamantly than others. I said a brazillian times, buy what you like. I like Shimano's, so why is that arguing? If someone like PNJ, Reb, zooker, JB, Bassintom, FLYgoof, JackL (and many others on this site can't name them all)or someone who has the experience and knowledge all of us are looking to gain(well the smart ones anyways). If they give you a reel reccomendation then listen to what they say, but still buy what you like. Different folks like different Brands. But it isn't a argument, just a freindly discussion or Banter. Some folks dislike what I like. So what, I fish how I like, they fish how they like. I went through over 30 brands of line before I settled on the ones I use. Are there better ones out there? Possibly, but I'm happy with what I use, and don't want to keep trying ouyt another 30. Fishing is about personal preferences. I will never be the best crankbait guy because I prefer plastics. I am proficient with cranks, but it's not the first rod I pick up. Quit whining everytime someone gives "THEIR OPINION" please. If you don't agree say so, but what drives me nuts is you always throw out "well someone else said, or does". Don't give us everyone elses opinion, give us "YOURS". And if you don't have any experience with what is being discussed quitely READ, and quit typing.

Jeeper Cats Lizards, you typed a WTL type thread. The reason I am considering the Abu is the price.You get a 11 bearing reel for $149.00.I know that some will argue a certain brand will have better bearings than another brand of reel, but for most purposes, there is absolutely no way of knowing unless the company is telling you so. The fact is all bearings except for the very lowest grade bearing all fall in the same RPM range due to the size of reel bearing.The hybrid (Abec)bearing may be more corrosion resistant than the standard stainless steel bearing because of the use of ceramic bearings, the fact remains it still uses the same type of stainless steel cup as the regular bearings do.The hybrid bearing falls in the same maximum RPM range as the standard grade stainless steel bearings do.Some bearings are more expensive to produce such as the ceramic hybrid bearings and claim to last longer than the standard bearings, but if properly lubed and maintained, I have never seen a standard bearing fail from excessive wear.The bearing Hype is just another lab statistic generated promotion to claim superiority amost their products over another manufacturers product. Its not like comparing apples to oranges, its like comparing a different apple to another apple.The results will be the same for most common people. P N J

Sorry to hear you dislike quantums, as I have used two of their saltwater spinning reels, and love them for the price, and have been with a guide that had their top-end combos, and I loved the sensitivity, and power that they had. Have had no experience with their baitcasters though.

Lizards, sorry bout that, will stop being a whiner. You are right, I shouldn't have made that comment, I made it assuming that an argument would start over reel preferences (in this case, what they say about assuming held true!).
At least we have the same bait preferences

[pig n jig]

Yeah, Shimano sucks, everyone knows you pay a premium price to own the name.No need to start a brand war. ROFLMAO................
