fishrman Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Spinning, Stradic. Just ordered a new Chronarch 50mg baitcaster. Quote
hi_steel_basser Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 As far as spinning reels go, I really like my Quantum Catalyst. With baitcasters, I don't really have a favorite. Hopefully my Scorpion I ordered today will fill that bill(durn monkey). I read about it here first. Quote
Guest Texas_Bass_Pro Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Quantum and Shimano are the main two that I use. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted January 2, 2007 Super User Posted January 2, 2007 I have several Calcuttas which I used pridominately for snook fishing. I just recently got back into serious bass fishing so I bought the Shimano Curado 7:1, Diawa Zillion 7:1, and Phleuger Supreme. I swore I would never buy a different reel other than my Calcuttas but I changed my mind since fishing the other three. The Diawa and Phlueger work exceptionaly well and very light but I'm not impressed with the way they fit in my hand. The Curado was the least expensive, $199.00 but fits the best in my hand and have caught hundreds of bass on it of all sizes. The Curado has some power to it and has become my weapon of choice. I'm gonna buy 2 more as soon as I sell a few of my Calcuttas Quote
Super User FishTank Posted January 2, 2007 Super User Posted January 2, 2007 The Shimano Calais. Words can't describe this reel. It is just simply amazing. Quote
LakeAnnaBasser Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 my favorite reel is the quantum accurist PT. I own a couple of them Quote
Super User RoLo Posted January 2, 2007 Super User Posted January 2, 2007 SPINNING: Shimano (the one that suits your budget, there're all good) CASTING: Penn International 8-) Roger Quote
BassChaser57 Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 I LOVE SHIMANO and Santa brought me a Calais. Can't wait to get it on the lake. I also have a BPS Johnny Morris Baitcaster which is an awesome reel. Maybe I will take it and go behind my local Wal Mart store and catch a 10lbr like Road Warrior. 8-) Quote
Guest avid Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 casting - daiwa tdz spinning - no favorite yet, but that daiwa steez seems to have everything my little hear could desire (except a price I can afford) Quote
Vyron Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 casting :shimano spinning :shimano i am a shimano guy Quote
lubina Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 casting - daiwa tdz I thing it is the best reel ever made. My # 1 changes for time to time, this month is my upgraded Alpha Type F. 0 Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 2, 2007 Super User Posted January 2, 2007 Casting: Calais Spinning: Stella I think they are both made by Shimano. : Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Penn 130st international (2 speed) Tow truck with a handle. But for LM, I'll use whatever is closest. I'm a firm believer in the phrase "it's not the car, it's the driver" If I hit the lotto, I'll be throwing the same as RW but as long as I have to dish boxes for my money, I'll use the Presidents. I believe the shimano line is just as capable in the Presidents price range. (Symetre?) But then again, I feel that most major manufacturers make a respectable product. Diawa, shimano, penn,.......can't go wrong. Besides,.....It's all about the colors, which one looks better??lol Quote
HPBB Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Casting: Shimano Chronarch 100 MG Spinning: Quantum Quote
Papa_Tom Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Spiining: Shimano Sahara Casting: Shimano Curado. However, I just got a new Citica 200D. Hopefully this reel will be everything the old Curados were/are Quote

Guest the_muddy_man Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Well I was outta town for a few days and since the SHIMANO POSSE wasnt itsd time for me to represent Spinning PFLUEGER PRESIDENT AND MEDALIST Casting it will take this first season to make up my mind right now I have a Cabelas prodigy and a Pflueger President on the way Quote

Diawa, shimano, penn,.......can't go wrong. Besides,.....It's all about the colors, which one looks better??lol I have to agree with "It's not the car, it's the driver." And I don't think it matters how much money I make. I grew up poor and I'm not going to change my frugality now. I like Citicas and Curados for baitcasters, but I don't think I'll ever buy anything more expensive than a Curado. For spinning reels, the Shimano Stradic is my choice, and, again, I just can't see spending nearly $500 for a Stella. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with those who buy these reels. I'm sure these expensive reels are phenomenal, but, for me, the benefit doesn't justify the cost. Quote
