okbassguy Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 I'm getting a baitcaster and which one is all around the best the shimano curado , shimano chronarch , daiwa tatula,lews tournament pro , lews bb1,lews bb1 pro ,abu garcia sx really any reel in the $100-$200 range Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted December 17, 2014 Super User Posted December 17, 2014 I think I've used just about every reel in this price range. The best all around, in my opinion, is the Shimano Curado I series. Others may be a better value, but I think it tops the performance in that range. 1 Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted December 17, 2014 Super User Posted December 17, 2014 The question with no "reel" answer. You will soon see...lol. Hootie 10 Quote

Ozark_Basser Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 That is pretty much like saying which cake is the best? Chocolate or vanilla? It's pretty much a matter of preference, but there's always a chance you could get a bad one, so there is no real answer. Just pick the one that has the features you like. Quote
smallies24/7 Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 All preference. Lews Tournament Pro for me. 2 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted December 17, 2014 Super User Posted December 17, 2014 Well I'm skipping the cake, I prefer ice cream... For me, the shimano curado I 7.2.1 1 Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted December 17, 2014 Super User Posted December 17, 2014 That's like asking what color is the best. 1 Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted December 17, 2014 Super User Posted December 17, 2014 That's like asking what color is the best. Jrob, that's an easy one. Green pumpkin, purple flake. Hootie 4 Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted December 17, 2014 Super User Posted December 17, 2014 There will be no shortage of people to tell you which one is the "best". See how many of them tell you why. 1 Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted December 17, 2014 Super User Posted December 17, 2014 $200 budget? Hmmmm - one answer could be TWO Daiwa Tatulas - one in 5.3:1 ratio for cranking, the other in either 6.3:1 or 7.3:1 for all other presentations... 3 Quote

Super User Goose52 Posted December 18, 2014 Super User Posted December 18, 2014 okbassguy - we're just having a bit of fun. There is usually a "what is the best" thread about once or twice a week and most are similar in the types of responses that we see. aavery2 provided a very astute post that sums up the situation very well... 1 Quote
Brent Bartman Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Fishing reels are like women. one you think you have one your happy with a new model comes out that is more slim a bit lighter and alot better looking. and you just cant afford to upgrade.... Am i wrong? 5 Quote
BasshunterJGH Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Jrob, that's an easy one. Green pumpkin, purple flake. Hootie Watermelon, red flake. You guys are both wrong. Everyone knows the best color is black blue flake. Quote

Super User HoosierHawgs Posted December 18, 2014 Super User Posted December 18, 2014 You guys are both wrong. Everyone knows the best color is black blue flake. The best color is the one with a 15# bass hanging on to it. 1 Quote
