LakeAnnaBasser Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 i am looking for a good quality flipping reel. I want it to have a flippin switch to. Any good suggestions Quote
TournyFish001 Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 I thought the kevin vandamn quantum reel was a pretty good deal for 69 bucks outta basspro- has a flip switch on it- very heavy tho. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted December 21, 2006 Super User Posted December 21, 2006 I use a Garcia 2005LP. You can only find them on Ebay now. Another one is the Shimano Castaic. It has that pretty neat instagage switch on it which is sorta like a flippin switch. Quote
LakeAnnaBasser Posted December 21, 2006 Author Posted December 21, 2006 im going upt to BPS on friday im gonna check them all out. But i was lookin at the KVD reel already i might get that one. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted December 21, 2006 Super User Posted December 21, 2006 ALL Daiwa's have a clutch that can be reengaged without turning the handle, just pop it back up with your thumb and you ready to reel again. I know it's not a flipping switch, but I have used that feature so much it's like second nature. Quote
LakeAnnaBasser Posted December 21, 2006 Author Posted December 21, 2006 where is this clutch at on a daiwa becaus i never knew about that i might have to check into it Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted December 21, 2006 Super User Posted December 21, 2006 If I am using the wrong term forgive me........but the spool release button, on all (or most) daiwas will pop back up and reengage the spool with out ever having to turn the reel handle to do so. Just push it down with your thumb like you are going to cast and then pop it right back up again with your thumb, and your reengaged again. AFAIK no other casting reels can do this, except the shimano castiac. Quote
CSB Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 The Daiwa Viento also has a dedicated flipping switch. I know Daiwa's $200 and up reels are superb in quality so the Viento should be no exception. Quote
