Super User aavery2 Posted May 25, 2014 Super User Posted May 25, 2014 Revo STX I use a Gen2 STX on my frog rod, it performs very well in that role. Quote
Super User MCS Posted May 25, 2014 Super User Posted May 25, 2014 Quantum Energy. X2 good reels for the money. Current model has the flipping switch. Older model can be had for under $100 and is a work horse 1 Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted May 25, 2014 Super User Posted May 25, 2014 Tatula Type R 8.1 $200 reel for $135, hard to beat. 1 Quote
Super User Shane J Posted May 25, 2014 Super User Posted May 25, 2014 Lew's Super Duty or BB1 Pro. Two incredible reels under $200, made for exactly what you wanna use it for. Quote
blackmax135 Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Man i do it with a abu garcia black max that cost around $40. I've been flipin, pitchin, casting with that reel for 2 years now only oiled it once love it. I'm surpirised its done me this good. I also have a Abu Garcia Revo s, i can't find the one i have anymore, but its awesome had it for 4 years its better than it was brand new except the scratches it was about $120 Quote
livetofish28 Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Definitely go With the Super duty. That reel is a Beast Tight lines Andrew Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted May 25, 2014 Super User Posted May 25, 2014 I use a Gen2 STX on my frog rod, it performs very well in that role. Yea I like Abu Garcia reels I have the gen3 Revo SX & STX love em both. I use my SX mainly caught a 6lb 6oz bass this morning on a lunker frog Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted May 25, 2014 Super User Posted May 25, 2014 I like my Shimanos.... The Curado I is a very strong.. Well built reel. Many say Lews... Many say... Diawa Tatula... It seems many folks are very happy with all these selections.... The new curado palms easier than the tats... Sooo... I say you should handle whatever reel on said rod... Then see how you feel... Also braking... Many have said choose a braking system you like... That may help..... But there's a lot more to it than that. In the end this is still you're choice! I don't like the t-wing myself... I can outcast these reels with any of my shimano reels... But again, that's me. Have fun trying to decide... It's part of the fun! Good luck... Let us know what you decide! Quote
BasshunterJGH Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 I decided to get the super duty. Sounds like a great reel. I might get another one in a lower gear ratio for big swimbaits Quote
