Need Help Picking New Reel

[pennix5]

I wanna buy a new baitcaster

Abu garcia revo

Daiwa tatula

Pro qualifier

[ZB85]

i have a tatula and pro qualifier and they are both great reels, i like my tatula slightly better. ive never used a revo so i cant say anything about them but my vote goes towards the tatula

[Alpha Male]

I have a PQ and 2 revo STX's. I had a tatula for a couple of months and you can go wrong with any of them. but as far as feel goes, there is a reason the PQ is the cheapest.

I really like my Revo SX and STX.  I haven't tried a tatula.

I love my revo....and its their lowest offering. I have a gen 3 revo s and its fantastic. Its a work horse of a reel. Very smooth, I like the braking system alot, great all around gear ratio, and in my opinion for the money can not be beaten. I had a curado g and returned it for this reel and I couldnt be happier.

The PQ is a great value, the Revo is built on the same platform but more refined. The Tatula is a fine reel but Daiwa is typically a little higher priced when comparing apples to apples. Keep looking for deals on reel that retail for $100> and you almost can't go wrong.

I have 4 Tatulas and really like them. I got them for $103 each, so I feel like it is the best $100 reel I have ever used.

Tatula, I have 2 Revos and never use them. They are not bad reels or anything I just dont prefer them over my Daiwas. Never had a PQ but I hear for the price they are not bad. But ifyou can get the Tatula for 104 which shouldnt be hard then I would say it is the best of the 3 listed.

[Comfortably Numb]

I would go Shimano. Still use my old green Curados that are 20+ years old. Work as good as new

[Arv]

Really depends on what you want to spend. 3 good reels with a small jump up in price from one to the next. I haven't handled a tatula but they get a lot of good reviews. I like the pq a lot. I tried a revo s and just didn't like how it felt in my hand for some reason... I can't really give you a good reason, just what it felt like to me. May be because it's white and that's never really been my deal.

[F14A-B]

I would go Shimano

X2 shimano!

[lmbfisherman]

From that list, I only have experience on the PQ.  I like them.  Very solid reel.

Is this a good reel it's half off

[new2BC4bass]

People complain that Daiwa doesn't make decent reels in the lower price range.  I bought a Procaster 100HN on closeout for $30.  MSRP on this reel was $69.95.  I had it cleaned before using.  Seems like a nice solid reel to me.  Casts very well.  Plenty smooth for the money.  I have read a few comments on this forum about the Exceler.  Most were good.  I've no personal experience with it, but at that price I think it would be a good low cost option.  I do admit to being partial to Daiwas, but not to the point that I wouldn't use anything else.  I have...and use...at least 7 different brands.

The Tatulas are great reels, no doubt there. If you are looking to spend a little more, wait and get a new Curado I, Ive heard they are great! Also, if you want it right away, you should really consider a shimano Citica or Curado.

[Montanaro]

Tatula at only 100 dollars blows the competition out of the water. At that price it's like racing with a Ferrari at a soap box derby.

Got a great deal on a pro qualifier dbs what is a decent rod to pair it with I will be throwing rage rig, soft swimbait, texas rig

What's your price range? I'd look for something 7' MH

[Fishes in trees]

Buy any of those reels mentioned, quality wise, feature wise they are all pretty similar. If after numerous reels at this level, you desire to upgrade in quality, buy a Shimano.  JMO

What's your price range? I'd look for something 7' MH

X2  ohya has the Quantum Superlite (a $230 rod) for $125 in a 7' MH 1/2-1/12 oz. and the Tour Edition (a $200 rod) for $7 less.  I have both models in 6'10" HF and like them a lot.  Very nice rods.  I realize most people will scoff at me for saying that.

[pennix5]

100 spending limit on rod something like abu garcia veritas

[frantzracing0]

again rods are apples to apples. I love my veritas, but I also love my bps carbonlite rods. But at 79.99 the veritas is hard to beat in that price range. But abu rods are a little stiff for their rating IMO. My MH is stiffer that a normal MH but not quite a Heavy if that make sense

[iamham3]

I have a Tatula that I think is a great reel in its price range, and I have 3 PQ's that i think are great in their range as well.  At my BPS the PQ's are $70 today, so check your local store.  That's a tough deal to beat.

*** has good rods at $100 but Hold the rod and make sure you like the handle. I can't use them because I hate the way the handle sits in my hand but the rod is pretty good for the price.  Duckett Ghost rods are also a great rod at $100 and the Denali Kovert are around $120 and they are very solid rods.

[DevilsAdidas]

I just bought a daiwa t3 reel from tackle warehouse for $198... Cant beat that for a reel sold at bass pro for more than double the price. Its def a sweet reel. Also i limy daiwa my lexa100. Just wish daiwa provided spare spools.
