[bassintom]

one word......................spellcheck....jeez!

[senko]

i sugest getting a great quality reel like a shimano.

[bassnman30]

I own several 4600C3's and several 4600C4's. The C3's are 5;1 and the C4's are 6;1. Good choice, they last forever.

not a big fan of round reels abu's are ok.. i like lower profile reels. tell your pop "quatum energy pt reel" tell him "I" said so..

if your going abu i get the Torno i got it this year for not a bad price and i like it so much only used it a couple times buti still think its good

[bassenforcer]

4600 C3 reels are a great value and can hold alot of line. Perfect first baitcaster.

Totally agree !!! I like the old curado BSF, heck, all of the old onees... The new ones (D series) are great too !! But if you want a round one, I like the Cardiff 200 series.

Idk if u have used baitcasters before or not. Im guessing so but im not sure. If u are learning id say get the cabelas prodigy. Its cheap and great to learn with. Cabelas has some way of keeping the spool rpm's down just after the lure leaves the boat. It does cast pretty far tho. I was supprised but that is just a suggestion. When u start out with a fast reel that cast long it gets frusterating. Do what u want tho lol i think ur dad must be a pretty good angler from the way it sounds. lol have fun and good luck

[zooker]

yeah but bassenforcer all of yours are lefty's -i am blaming the 3 NEW left handed reels on YOU. just so you know..

thanks again fer the loaners i owe you one..

My dad taught me how to throw the baitcasters since I was very young about 6 or 8. I am thinking of getting a 4600 or a cardiff. My dad says they are both good reels.

[treehugger8]

Well then there u go. Now just go play with them at the store and see which one u like best.

Pflueger president or supreme.

What is the rell gonna be used for? I buy specific equipment for specifics techniques. If it's pitching Flipping reel, well ask you rdad which one to buy, because I already told him. If it's for other uses, then most any good brand name reel will work. If you like the 4600 then have him buy that, however might I suggest a Shimaon Calais, especially since he's buying rotflmao.

HEY LIZZY............I aint rockefeller buddy. LMAO!!!!

I would go for a Shimano Calcutta CTE 700 available a Cabela's .com for $389.99.

[Bo Dale James Jr.]

Seriously, I respect anyone that can cast a baitcaster! I have and Abu Ambassador and a Shimano C300. I can't use either one. I have to stick to using my Mitchell spinning reels. I say this knowing what little respect I garner here has just diminished to disgust!

[bassnman30]

Hey Bassenforcer, I'm kinda a "newby" so how about your 20th baitcast reel ?
Will it work for that as well as your first ?
Whats the matter, got poopy in the pants ?
Funny, funny, funny

[bassenforcer]

Being the first I bought and the one I purchased Friday. The old has been kept up and still works as good as it did the day I bought it.

All I have to say is, Shimano reels aren't pieces of crap; all my reels are Shimano, and I absolutely love them.

Bass Kicker, obviously, you don't like Shimano, but why do you always have to put them down !! Leave those comments at home ! No one asked which reels are crap and which ones aren't.

As far as lasting "forever," I'm not sure if any reel lasts "forever,'' but any reel will last a long period of time if maintained properly, regardless of brand. Good luck with whichever reel you decide to purchase BigBass10.
