Pinnacle Vision Slyder Review

[outdoorsman110]

Hey guys, it's been a while since I posted a review, Just thought I should put this up here.

A few weeks ago I was at my local Wal-mart and I was browsing the fishing section, picked up the new Slyder reel. For 15$. WHAT?! I was so amazed I bought 3 of them.They have a MSRP of 69$!!!!! I GOT 3 FOR 45$!!

Anyway, I was pretty impressed with the reel, it's got 5BB + 1 at 7.0:1. Smooth reel although I prefer my Ardent Edge's and my Chronarchs. For 15$ you can't beat it. It holds EXACTLY 100 yards of 17lb Sufix siege, I have it rigged for Carolina rigs and Dropshots, It's a fairly quiet reel, zero backlash. I love the slide wheel, it allows me to creep the rig along the bottom of the weed beds and docks. I've caught like 20 some odd 3+ pounders on it and handles them well. NOW it does feel a little cheap in your hand but trust me, it's pretty d**n good and in my opinion it beats any Okuma reel. It weighs like 8oz I think I don't know. I have them on some of my finesse rods. Works like gold. I would recommend it. 8/10.

I had one at one point I got as a gift...I would have def bought them at that price, wow.

I did use the slyder wheel to make a bait twitch and catch a fish.

Ill check to see if they are that price at my local walmartseses, Ill buy some too

I had one too. I had it paired with the Wright and McGill Spinnerbait/Worm rod and zero complaints. I will say though it's hard to go back to after throwing the Curado 200E7 for a while.... However, the price can't be beat for the performance....I could NOT backlash that reel.
