Flippin/Pitchin Reel

Crankbait · 09-28-11, 06:59 PM

Ok I need a flipping/pitching reel with a flipping switch and magnetic brakes. I know the BPS Extreme and Shimano Castic fall into this category. Does anyone have any experience with these or no others? thanks

Abu Garcia Silver Max, Cabelas Prodigy has dual brakes and a fipping switch. I am sure there are others out there.

Not quite a flipping switch, reels like one of the Shimano Cores and all Daiwa reels have the ability to engage the reel by pushing up on the thumb bar.

The Daiwa TD-Z 105HL reels have a flipping switch too.

I have several with that feature seldom use it,diawa infinity 2 bearings,pinnacle 5 bearings,and quantim 5 bearings,browning etc all in the 6/3 gr range,so been around awhile.
That 2 bearing is fairly old gave like 20 for it,quite some time back.
And most reels if one pushes up on the thumbar it reengages or many do,not limited to two brands.Sort of an odd imbalanced move I might add.
If you check just about every mfg at one time or another made them at least one model with a flippin switch.
