    To start off I’m a stats nerd in spinning reels. I tend to fish more saltwater so I know all about what each spinning reel is designed for. However I started bass fishing for bass recently and was wondering if some expert here could help me understand what each of the following reels are meant for? Also how do the different models (I/k) affect the performance. Chronarch Aldebaran Bantam Metanium Antares Exsence Scorpion Also any recommendations y’all prefer? Looking for a long casting, fast retrieve/hg, 150 sized reel as a do everything rod. Hoping to find a used one for under $200. I won’t be throwing large swim baits so most of the stuff will be from 1/8 to 7/8. Would an MGL be too lightweight based? Shimano or Daiwa would be preferred. Thanks

    Okay, so after fishing with the LFS for a few weeks now, i’m not completely sold on it, the thumb bar sometimes jams on me, and the reeling just sometimes feels like sand is stuck in it and it’s grinding, so right now i can either exchange it for another LFS (maybe i got an unlucky one) or exchange for SLX or pay difference for a Curado K... so is the curado K worth the extra money or is the SLX the better buy? I’m leaning more towards the curado simply for the looks of it, and i heard it’s extremely smooth.

    Hey so i will soon have both combos and i was wondering on opinions on which one is better/ like more in YOUR opinion, i know both are really good especially for the price, but i just want to know what other people would prefer (side note: i got the slx combo for 130ish and the fuego combo for 180ish), lastly would you say for the fuego combo it is worth the extra 50 in my case (it looks better in my opinion, but idk about performance)

    So i just realized theres "glass" rods and then the "regular" rods whats the difference between the two? Im guessing the glass ones make the rod more flexible because of fiberglass instead of graphite or vise versa? EX: Shimano SLX 7’0” Medium Glass Casting Rod | SLXC70MG

    Hello, so i was wondering how to do maintenance on a bait casting reel specifically the xt reel. What do y’all do to clean your reels, like basic cleaning? Also it says on the manual to rinse under cold tap water and then relube parts with grease and oil, do y’all rinse it often or at all? I was thinking as far as basic maintenance every few months to just wipe it down and put oil in the worm gear, brake and the hole where the spool is etc, and maybe grease, but is regreasing necessary? which grease do y’all like to use? Lastly, is this hole a lube port? (sorry for all the questions, i just like to take care of all my equipment fishing and none fishing related)

    So my new SLX XT combo came in today, thanks to everyone who helped me pick out my first combo. So when i first opened the reel, i fumbled it and dropped it and its a bit scratched up lol, but besides that will it be fine? Like will anything inside be misaligned etc. Also where is the lube ports and how many are there? How often should i clean it and how should i clean it/ how many drops of oil do i put? 1-2?

    Sorry i have been asking so much about these two reels, but waiting for their restock has got me doing more research about the two reels. Do You prefer the SLX or SLX XT and besides the svs infinity system in the XT, what other features set it apart from the SLX? I know some people say for $30 it is not worth it, but i found a deal to get it for only $18.

    Is the XT worth the extra few bucks? because the XT is not in the retrieve i want and the rod size is not either... but in the SLX my retrieve is available and i can just get a 6’10 or 7’5 MH rod... does anyone know if the discount is year around or if i don’t get something soon i might miss out

    i’m getting my first baitcaster... which combo would be better? i want a overall workhorse reel... i will be mostly fishing t rigs and occasionally jerkbaits/cranks/chatterbait/spinner bait since both would be around the same price range with the slx rod and reel or the lews mach crush combo which is better for durability and performance? also is the lews mach 2 better than both of these for its slightly cheaper price point?
  10. niiickboy
    What length should i get for my first baitcaster it’s probably gonna be my only one for a while and i’m gonna use it mainly for T rigs and a little bit of everything else, mostly top water and subsurface, and what action?

    Im 14 and Im starting to take my fishing to the next level. Im learning from YouTube channels like Glenn. I also have read bass resource religiously. Im switching my fishing arsenal over to baitcasters after about 2 years of using only spinning gear. Im a broke 14 year old and my parents are NOT helping me financially with any of my hobbies, so Im looking for a budget rod to build my arsenal around. Shimano SLX vs Shimano Exage? These will be for bottom contact lures or lures I throw a lot. To save money Im throwing my reaction baits on a Shimano Sellus, $50 dollar rod. Which has better sensitivity? Better overall quality? Not too worried about weight since Im not a all day tournament fisherman. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

    I was thinking the st croix bass x 7’2 mhm but I don’t know if moderate action was the right choice.
