CarolinaBoy4Life Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I was honestly looking to get a mettle setup with ethos rod. But there are no Academy's around here so I'd be going on a limb. From what everyone say's they appear to be darn good for the price point. May have to just take a chance and buy a couple setup's to try out. Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted October 22, 2014 Super User Posted October 22, 2014 Speed spools are pretty dang smooth, also magnetic brakes are easier to deal with since its a first baitcaster IMO. i haven't tried the h20 reel but I've heard the h20 xpress line in academy puts out great baits/products. Now the PQ is in my opinion too bulky and too heavy its a great reel otherwise. I think speed spool but it's all your decision Easier in that the adjustment is on the outside. I think most would suggest a centrifugal brake reel to learn on. Don't get me wrong....I learned on a magnetic reel. Some are easier to cast well than others. My Zillion 50th Anniversary is a "set and forget" type of reel. My Zillion 100SHLA requires a bit more adjusting throughout the day. Maybe I just don't have it set right yet. Quote
