Baitcaster Suggestions?

[QUAKEnSHAKE]

Unless my dad changed them up then I guess they're on the setting that they were from the factory.

 

 

I am not trying to be rude, but I am going to be honest. Your statement about your Pflueger reel not having any braking adjustment leads me to believe that you do not understand the basic operation of baitcasting reels. I would suggest that before you spend more money on a better reel, take the time to learn the operation of the reel you currently have. It may be all you need, but at any rate you will need to understand how, when, and why braking adjustments are necessary. There should have been an operation manual that came with the reel, read through it and become familiar with your reels operation and adjustment. If you have questions post them here, many are very willing to help, watch videos, there are more than a person could watch.

A better reel won't necessarily make you a better fisherman, but I can guarantee understanding and using your equipment to it's full advantage will.

best for $150.00 to me would be the Tournament Pro from Lew's, you may decide you don't want the rest???

So are "we" saying the Revo's aren't worth getting.  Always been a spinning user but want to give the baitcasting a try. 

[Capt.Bob]

I would not say they are not worth getting. But for $150.00 I don't think there is any reel made as good for that price, and you can find them for $150.00 I think there track record from anyone who has owned them reflect that quite clearly. They worth way more than there retail price and offer more extras than reels costing twice the money, you won't go wrong with the Lew's.

Say BB1 vs. Revo S vs. Tatula.  senko to 3/8 jigs

I went from a cheap baitcaster, (started getting frustrated with it) to one diawa tatula and now have 3

Did a little comparison shopping for a new reel this past winter.  Hadn't purchased a new casting reel since a couple Morrums a decade ago.  Found the sweet spot for weekend warrior reels to be $150 - $200.  The $200 price became necessary to find a quality reel that would effortlessly throw 1/4oz weights.  Several very good choices from most of the major manufactures.  Take some time, study the features and enjoy the shopping.
