Ronald K Smith Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Seen ads on Sixgills baitcasting reels, 2 models listed. Now they have a 30% off sale. Anyone tried these reels yet? Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted October 15, 2015 Super User Posted October 15, 2015 Yes. I like them. I think they are good for the money if your in the market for something new. Quote
Ronald K Smith Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 I ordered the Crius model baitcaster to try out. Quote

Ronald K Smith Posted October 16, 2015 Author Posted October 16, 2015 Received the *** brand CRIUS casting reel I ordered today. 10 ball bearing, RH, 7.0:1. Made in CHINA. 6/250yd, 8/220, 10/190, and 12/165. Attractive, all black with blue spool, drag, and brake adjustment knob. lightweight 7.2 ozs. I already have several casting rod setups and trying to decide with what rod and line I should use. Any suggestions? Quote

BadBassWV Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I had the Crius and Sold it. I have 3 Tatulas I bought the Crius to add as a 4th combo for General fishing nothing specific. I could never get used to the Clutch bar (the thing you engage when casting) i guess that's what you call it. When I cast I use my thumb to control my cast. The clutch Bar on the Crius when engaged leaves my thumb a lot lower on the spool, unlike other reels I've cast where my thumb was on the top of the spool during the cast. I was never able to get used to it. It just didn't feel right to me. Other than that the reel seemed pretty solid. Quote
WPCfishing Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Is this reel a ground up design or a knock off? Gear from China can be iffy.. No parts available.. Why take a shot with a 7.2oz no name? Quote
