Which Reel Next?

[desmobob]

My first bass casting reel was a Lew's Tournament Pro Speed Spool, which I immediately fell in love with.  Right away, I figured I'd be buying more of them.  But the more I thought about it, the more I thought I should try some other reels before deciding.  

 

Today, I ordered a Daiwa Tatula.  I figured it's their lowest price-point reel that has the important features that represent Daiwa's efforts: the T-Wing System, Megaforce Z braking, Air Rotation, and carbon drag.  It has an aluminum frame and a strong reputation as a giving exceptional bang for the buck.

 

What reel should I try the next time I have some extra cash to buy one?  I'd be aiming for the same price point or sweet spot in a company's line-up... something that is basically representative of their better reels, without breaking the bank.

 

Thanks for any suggestions,

Bob

Next stop : Shimano lol

Try the Quantum Smoke PT, on ebay for around 120.00, or the daiwa T3-B for around 110.00. if you want to get reel crazy you can try the skeet reese victory reels for like 50.

Curado I for sure. There is a reason why everyone is raving about them.

I see a shimano in your future. Maybe a curado or a chronarch.

Hmmm... I guess I should give Shimano a try.  I'm thinking the Curado 201 I or Chronarch 51E.  I think the little Chronarch would be a neat fit for the old 5'6" IM6 BPS Tourney Special pistol grip rod I have in the basement.

 

But it will probably be a month before I make a decision.

 

 

Thanks for the suggestions,

50e series shimano would be a fun reel for you.
