Default Bass Pro Extreme EX

Anybody ever fished with one of these? I've heard a lot of good things about the regular bps extremes, but nobobdy has ever mentioned the "EX" version. Couldn't find any info on the BPS website, either. Thanks in advance.

Zooker: I don't think so. Bass Pro online chat help didn't have any knowledge of an EX. They were no help at all. And on their site, the ETX20HB is the wide version. Oh, well.

Carolina: That's kinda my thought as well. i didn't even notice it was a lefty, I just pasted the link in order to throw a hook out there and see if anybody bit. If you want a righty version, here ya go:

Ok, the eBay seller says that the EX version has a dual braking system, centrifugal and magnetic, which is "...definitely better than the green models."
But BPS website says the green ones have both those brakes, too...now I'm all confused.

there was never an extreme reel made with centrifugal and magnetic brakes.

Yeahh i get leary of some ebay sales. Ebay is a place where you will find alot of Fakes. The FACT that BPS did'nt have any info on this reel makes me ponder. Just cus it say's BPS. Does'nt mean that it is.
