Josh Smith Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Hi Folks, Been looking at these. They make me curious. I've not seen much on them. Any thoughts? Thank you, Josh Quote
Matthew2000 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 They suck IMO they just aren't a performer for the money way more and better options in other brands. Quote
Josh Smith Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 Matt, They make a huge deal about being American. However, their reels look like the typical stuff coming out of China. Any idea? Regards, Josh Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted February 3, 2015 Super User Posted February 3, 2015 I never owned one, a few years ago the Denny Brauer flipping model was a interesting concept. I mean from a engineering standpoint.. Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted February 3, 2015 Super User Posted February 3, 2015 Matt, They make a huge deal about being American. However, their reels look like the typical stuff coming out of China. Any idea? Regards, Josh They stopped production in America 2 years ago. You can still find the US products, but their new stuff is cheaper and performs better. Their reels are fine. Most of those reels come from one of two manufacturers, whether it's a Lews, Abu, Quantum, etc.; they're all pretty similar in performance. Quote
Blues19 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I have the first model of Ardent. I like it a lot but have not gotten any more. Others have looked better to me. Quote
SDoolittle Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I have an Ardent Edge Pro 5.1:1, and I really like it. I'll admit that it feels a little clunky, but I can sling crankbaits a mile with it, and reeling in a DD-22 is like cutting through butter. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted February 3, 2015 Super User Posted February 3, 2015 A guy in my bass club has a few of the newer ones and likes them. Last I heard he was picking up a few more. I never got to use one though so I can't say they're good from personal experience so take it for what it's worth. Quote
FunkJishing Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I see a lot of ardent products like rods and reels, are they any good? can anyone share their expirence with an ardent product? Quote
