I had one the reel is nice, but the twitching bar is a waste.

BigBassin144 · 04-29-09, 06:58 AM

I don't have the mega force, but Ido have a viento. At first you'll use the twitchin bar all the time. Then it kind of looses its appeal. But I still find myself using a lot. especially when fishing a worm or jig. I mostly use it to impart slight action to the bait or to bring in slack line.

I am waiting to find the megafore plus on sale, with the Magforce Z brakes which I really like... they are $100.

zook, I own that reel, I love it! For the price it's super smooth, light and casts consistently...I'm not sure about anyone else, but I've noticed that a lot of the $60 range baitcasters seem to like to make their own adjustments....my burst has recently been a pain..I cast out two or three times no problem then on the 4th or 5th cast the line overruns the spool, occasionally leading to a birdsnest, but usually I just end up feeding out the extra line until I get it tight back on the spool....

Also, for the record I'm officially a Shimano guy now...love the citica, it's one of the smoothest reels I ever used

I have three of the 7:1 reels, I love them and have had ZERO problems with any of them. I have had them for about a year and have not even cleaned or lubed them yet and they are still smooth as silk and cast a mile! I use the twiching bar on worms to take up slack so that I can have my reel hand in front of the reel to help with hookset!

BigBassin144 · 04-29-09, 03:32 PM

I personally don't like to use cheap reels, but of all of them I've used, Daiwa makes the best $100 and under reels.

zook I got one and love it casts a mile and you prob will end up using the twitching bar , I never thought i would use it but it's nice to have .

For a few bucks more I have heard good things about the daiwa exceller, I have four of the exceller spinning reels and they are great. The only thing I think that the twitching bar would be much help for is engaging the spool when flipping, if it works that way.

BigBassin144 · 04-29-09, 07:09 PM

I don't know about on the mega force, but the on the viento, it can engage the reel. I don't know if its bad for the reel though.

BB

Jim80 · 05-02-09, 10:37 AM

the twitching bar will engage the reel on the mega force as well .
