Ardent C force and bolt reels

[dam0007]

Hey all hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 

"-------------edited for political correctness smh-----------". and I want to try them out. I'm all set on casting reels but could use a spinning reel or 2 for random light weight application.

 

Have any of you tried the C force or the Bolt models and what are your thoughts? Also do the internals have a worm gear or oscillating wheel gear thing? Can't seem to find schematics online. 

 

Carbon drags and high bearing counts for a relatively decent prices seems good....

 

thanks!

Well, although I do NOT want to encourage you to pimp your sponsor (considered SPAM around here), I think YOU should ask your sponsor to ramp you up.

if you are sponsored then what does anyone else's opinion mean?  i mean it isn't like yo are going to go get a pflueger or shimano, right?  get a few and then give us the (biased) review...

Doesn't sound like he personally is sponsored by them but more so his club/organization is and gets a, from anybody I've talked to in clubs that gets these sponsorship, a pretty good discount. 

No experience /w anything Ardent Reel related but there's only a 20$ difference between the two so after discount, I'd opt for the C-Force just for the little weight savings and cool color to be honest. 

C-force is still on pre-order to anything on it will be limited at best.

+1 Bass Nation as a whole is now sponsored by them. Me individually NOOOOO. RW I'm not pimpin anyone. 

Searching through the forums I've only seen reviews and opinions on the baitcasters nothing on the spinning reels so that's why I'm asking.

I have two C-Forces and I love them. Smooth drag, very nice reels. I've also had their Finesse reels. For $50, they're nice too.
