TNBassin' Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Gotta go with my gen 3 Revo stx. Smooth, light, casts a mile, and it can be tuned to throw any baits in any conditions. It's just plain awesome and user friendly. Quote
Quitlimpin Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Idk if its the "best" I've ever used, but I enjoy fishing with the Daiwa Sol/Alphas more than any others. 1 Quote

BassThumb Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Abu Garcia Revo STX or Shimano Curado E7. Quote
ColdSVT Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 round goes to my calcutta b 201 low pro is a tie between my curado e7 201 and my gen 3 revo stx. last year my curado beat my gen 2 stx, but the gen 3 is a tie for now lol Quote
TNBassin' Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 I'm surprised no one said the gen 2 Revo SX. People swore by that reel. I swore AT it though... Quote
BronzeChaser Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 I'd have to say the e series curado. They're smooth, long casting, and can take a beating more than most other reels I've used Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted March 30, 2013 Super User Posted March 30, 2013 Shimano Calcutta TEGT Quote
Capt.Bob Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Round reel would be the TE Calcutta Best. Low Profile would be the Lew's Team, first model, I may like the Team Gold better but haven't used it yet, but was so impressed with the original I had to try the new one. But if it's better I will still be keeping the older model, it is sweet. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted March 30, 2013 Super User Posted March 30, 2013 While my budget has limited the number of baitcasters I own to three: Lexa 100HS 7.1:1 Best I've held/played with in-store? Daiwa Pluton, Shimano Core Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted March 30, 2013 Super User Posted March 30, 2013 Best for what? I am amazed at how well my cheap Ambassadeur Black Max 1600 casts into the wind. Not my favorite on the retrieve, although I have hopes of improving that. But then the Curado 51E also does extremely well in the wind. I have several Daiwas that are a pleasure to use. Have made a few purchases over the winter, and have high hopes for each reel. Picking one is an impossibility right now. I would need to fish an awful lot more than I have been able to in order to start narrowing my likes. Even then I seriously doubt I could name just "one" reel as the best. Right now I also "like" my Zillion 50th Patriarch XT Fuegos Lews Tournament Pro Alphas ito Gen 1 STX-L "Likes" to be yet determined Sol Zillion 100SHLA Purple Alphas Premier Morrum 1600 Chronarch 101A and 100B TD-Z 103ML and a couple others. Spinning reels get used even less so I couldn't possibly make a guess as to which will be my favorite. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted March 30, 2013 Super User Posted March 30, 2013 Daiwa Fuego is the reel I always come back to. Quote
Mike__D Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Pflueger Patriarch XT - Love that reel!!! Probably why I own 4 of them. A close second are my tuned Curado 100D's. Mike D Quote
