Maybe a bit more money than you'd like to spend, but well worth it.

If you dont want to drop all that cash get the Citica 100d.

ILfishinman · 03-21-07, 02:25 PM

2 bills is a bit too high in price for my liking i was thinking about 130 and under.

lizardsrule · 03-21-07, 05:16 PM

I believe most anything in that price range would be fine.

Bet,

rotflmao, you are without a doubt the new king of Shimano pimping

You took it away from me hands down

I've been using the BPS Extreme for several years and for the price they are tough to beat. Plus, BPS stands behind their stuff. I had an older model Extreme that was grinding instead of cranking. Flyrod and I hit BPS the other day and he reminded me to bring the reel. Showed it to customer service and long story short I left with a free replacement.

ive had my extremes for a year now and they still cast and retrieve as smooth as the day i bought them they go pretty cheap on ebay got 2 for 60 or 70 bucks brand new used for display and not a single scratch on either =)

I would suggest a Extreme or a Quantum Accurist 2.....I like the accurits a lot

flamez · 03-23-07, 12:22 AM

The BPS Extreme is a good reel for the money.

Yeah, I guess I have to agree with that. Mostly

I agree with this. I have a Cruxis, same but with one less bearing I think and I like it a lot. I have heard people say the Citica is similar to the good older Curados.

texasbasser · 03-25-07, 11:53 AM

get an extreme, I have had mine since december and it works flawlessly. great for the price, too.

ILfishinman · 03-25-07, 01:53 PM

yea i think imma get an extreme and a st croix premire, they got the premire at dicks for 80-90

lizardsrule · 03-26-07, 08:07 PM

Currently Bass Pro shops has the rod/reel combo(the Extreme) on sale for $119 total. I don't own any, but if Rebasser has good things to say about them, then that's enough for me. How do I know? Well once again I stopped by the BPS in Savannah on the way home from SC to get just a couple of things, and dropped $120 on just hooks and baits rotfl.
