Which reel?

Fishing4Soup · 08-02-06, 01:44 PM

Hey guys i need some input on a new baitcaster. I'm looking for a good all around reel that will cover cranking to finesse tactics. If you chose other please explain why. Thanks!

bassking22 · 08-02-06, 01:47 PM

Heres all you need to know, PFLEUGERS KILL THE COMPETITION, except for Daiwa, which runs a close second but always, buy Pfleuger and Daiwa. Well, at least theres my 2 sense.

Raul · 08-02-06, 01:49 PM

Neither of those you listed. Curado 100D.

bassking22 · 08-02-06, 02:04 PM

All right, were gonna all dissagree, mainly over shimanos.......... If I were Kevin, I'd shut this down right now before it gets like this

officerhoyt · 08-02-06, 02:09 PM

I would choose the curado 100D

NCYankee · 08-02-06, 05:23 PM

I've only used Quantum and BPS. I've been satisfied with both.

bassintom · 08-02-06, 05:25 PM

scorpion 1000
according to your poll,daiwa and quantums suck...lol

zooker · 08-02-06, 06:10 PM

gee i own all three..

zooker

bassintom · 08-02-06, 06:11 PM

i didn't say they suck..i have all 3 manufacturers products also...the poll says they suck...lol

HulaPopr · 08-02-06, 06:28 PM

I'm sure that they're all pretty good reels, even though I've never used any one of them. IMO, the Quantum PT energy is the coolest looking reel on the market...I love that thing.

Bassking,

I think that you were thinking exactly what I was thinking. This topic could once again, deteriorate into a Shimano versus the World debate.

curado100d great reel

geno · 08-03-06, 05:34 PM

Phluger President and B/P Johnny Morris have them both only problems they don't catch fish.

bassking22 · 08-03-06, 07:49 PM

Bo, so am I, except for saltwater.... I bought a baitcaster, and that thing kicked my a$$. I respect anyone that can use one.

First you make this comment, then you state you can't use one

And it kicked your a$$

Then why would you even comment or make this statement, when the fact is YOU DON'T KNOW!

All of those reels would be fine for all I know. I'm a Shimano user, but that's just personal preference, and I see no need to change. Since it's a multiuse reel, then any will work fine. Name brand is just like autos. All the bigger names make a decent product, when you find one you like, then you continue to buy that brand until something causes you to change. Either driving another Brand, or service/quality issues. Or my favorite, just because it looks KEWL

How many people really have any use for a Hummer

Maybe 1/2 of 1% of the people that actually own them

Buy what you can afford and like.

bassking22 · 08-03-06, 10:28 PM

Lizards, I said I use baitcasters for saltwater, and I have these things called friends, that use baitcasters, and they have these things called experiences, that lead me to opinions, plus those brands make spinning reels. Sorry for trying to be helpful, and voice my personal opinion. Also didnt I say that this post would end up in an argument????

zooker · 08-04-06, 04:58 AM

lmao

Fishie1 · 08-04-06, 08:16 AM

Get a BPS Extreme rod and reel....mine has always performed nicely...or get a pro qualifier....these reels are awesome....the round ones are great!

dodgeguy · 08-04-06, 10:32 AM

the pflueger president is a great reel.i've owned all the other brands and i prefer pflueger.all my reels are pflueger now.

3dkicker · 08-04-06, 12:57 PM

Quantum
Shimano
Pflueger
Daiwa
Abu Garcia
Go to the store, see what they have, find one or two that you can afford, have them spool some line, have your rod with you, attach a jig, test the reels out in the store, make a decision, pay the cashier, and go fishing.

I like lizard's analogy with cars. Sometimes you get a lemon even if you purchase an expensive reel. Unlike cars it's a lot easier to send them back and get a replacement when you do get a bad one.

senko · 08-04-06, 01:30 PM

i want to change mine to other, a pflueger echelon.

adamgambill · 08-04-06, 01:32 PM

Dont waste your money on an easy breaking reel. Save up some jack and but a curado or the like. It wont be the last one you buy but you wont replace it. Inshore fished a curado since 98 hasnt broken, only been torn down twice. I wore out drag washers which Im very proud of.

Fishing4Soup · 08-04-06, 02:05 PM

do you guys think gander mountain will let me try some reels out there?
