You Can Spend $200+ On A Reel And Get A Reel That Will Cast Further And More Accurate. However That Is What I Use My Spinning Combos For. I Have A Couple Cheap Baitcasters, Granted They Aren't As "smooth" , Don't Cast As Far And Accurate, But I Have Landed Several Good Sized Bass On Them. I Seem To Have A Hard Time Convincing Myself That I Will Catch More Fish With A High Dollar Reel. Use What Works For You And What Fits Your Budget, Don't Try To Keep Up With The Jones.

'sup Money, I can vouch for the old pfluger too-Ive seen it. I just know that an old green curado is a good reel. My newest SF is a good reel too. But that Pinnacle is a good deal. Its light and smooth and responsive. Like mentioned before, the fish dont know what youre fishing with and it really shouldnt matter to the fisherman either. I cant see spending 200 bucks for an uncomfortable, heavy reel when I can spend a 3rd of that and get something I would like to fish all day with. Really dont care what anybody thinks of my equipment. Ive seen numerous questions by younger anglers on here looking for a good baitcaster setup and gusee what Platinum Pinnacle ($50) and a GM guide series rod(40) makes a heck of a light weight, ultra strong baitcasting setup-five bearings and a rod built on a loomis blank- I cant think of much better to start out with.

Roflmao, Carpy, A posting like that would get you removed from the majority of the bass sites.They sure do love their Shimano's.I just never got that warm fuzzy feeling they get.Closest I came was when a squirrel climbed down the tree I was leaning against and tried to hide in my jacket.They are annoying when your out deer hunting.P N J

I agree with this , my problem is... I like to buy things , for no good reason. Therefore I will buy two new pricey reels , and at least two new rods before spring...hehe. |

Please stop. Are you trying to say that Shimano will outcast other reel brands ?Shimano has never held the world casting title.You might like your Shimano reels,but before you have fished with other brands of reels, please stop trying to say Shimano is something special, when they really aren't.

You're twisting it to make it sound like I'm saying things that I havn't. Read my posts before making comments. All I have said is an old green curado is a better quality reel than an academy and you can't compare the two. PERIOD!!
And PNJ, the comment about the fish arn't casting, that was refering to the bearing comment that was completely off the wall and had no reason to even be there because bearings were never the primary issue of debate. But for the record, shimano uses an abec 3 rated bearing (this rates the tolerance of error in manufacturing the peices to the bearing) in most of there mid range reels like the curado as do most every other reel manufacturer so shimano does NOT use "better" bearings. They're the same. |
