JeziHogg Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 The St.Croix Legend Xteme 72MM (using it for crankbaits) I was thinking about buying another Abu Garcia Gen 3 winch. What are some other good options? Quote
SoCalFisher Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I'll probably get a lot of hate for this but I would get a Shimano chronarch 200e5. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted March 13, 2013 Super User Posted March 13, 2013 Any reel with a 22-25 IPT retrieve will work fine. The Winch is a good choice, as is the Chronarch e5. Daiwa Lexa is another option. I use a Daiwa TD-Sol on my SC 70MM. They can be found reasonably priced on the used market. Quote
Super User lmbfisherman Posted March 13, 2013 Super User Posted March 13, 2013 I'll probably get a lot of hate for this but I would get a Shimano chronarch 200e5. LOL Well this time he didn't specifically "ask" for a product. He's asking in general. To the question, since this isn't going to be a deep cranker, I would think any 5 to 1 ratio reel would work. Don't need to break the bank at all (BPS PQ or Extreme), I bought an Extreme and don't think it has any issues doing what you want it to do. Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted March 13, 2013 Super User Posted March 13, 2013 I'll probably get a lot of hate for this but I would get a Shimano chronarch 200e5. x2. Have this on my cranking rod and it works great. Money well spent. Quote
OkeechobeeAngler Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Lews or Abu for me. Just choose a good reel you like and go catch some bass. Doesn't matter what we say, it's what you like. Quote

Super User flyfisher Posted March 13, 2013 Super User Posted March 13, 2013 I just picked up a BPS pro qualifier for cranking and in two trips out I have been very pleased. It also comes in every gear ratio under the sun for both righties and lefties Quote

ColdSVT Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 in not particular order lews tp, revo stx or a chronarch. all kick arse! I put a revo stx on my new legend tourny bass...love it Quote
JeziHogg Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 What is your budget? I have no budget, mind you I reel in left Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted March 13, 2013 Super User Posted March 13, 2013 I have no budget, mind you I reel in left A Conquest 51 or the 101DC would make for a heavenly combo. Quote
Tilley4u2nv2 Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I'll probably get a lot of hate for this but I would get a Shimano chronarch 200e5. X3. Right out of the box they are easy to throw. But remember it has to feel right in your hands too Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted March 14, 2013 Super User Posted March 14, 2013 I forgot to add that if you want to stick with a domestic reel, the Calcutta TE 101GT is worth a look. I really wish Shimano made a 101 in the Calcutta DC Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted March 14, 2013 Super User Posted March 14, 2013 I would lean hard on the Chronarch E5 followed by the Abu Winch. I am more than impressed with my E7. My next is more than likely going to be an E5. The Chronarch has a few more features that I like over the Winch. Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted March 14, 2013 Super User Posted March 14, 2013 I'll probably get a lot of hate for this but I would get a Shimano chronarch 200e5. I think you misunderstood the reason everybody cracked the whip on you last time. He asked for your opinion on a reel and left the topic open. Hell I said Chronarch E series too. Point we all tried to make was when a guy asked about two specific products, you threw in a bid on a different product followed by an "it sucked" and left it at that.
