Favorite brand of baitcaster?

[ga_hawghauler]

I was just curious as to what everyone favorite brand of baitcaster is. I would have to say mine is quantum with either pinnacle or shimano a close second.

Hmmmmmmmmm....... :

Round up "Posse"!!!!!!!!

[HPBB]

i was a Shimano only man, but now I like others

imy picks would be

1. Shimano

2. Team Daiwa

3. Pinnacle

[WCCT]

1. Quantum

2. Daiwa

I used to be strictly a Daiwa guy until the new Quantums came out.

I drink from the fountain of Shimano, although I have a TDA that I really like.

[cabela10]

I've only used Shimano and going into this season, I will be converting most of my baitcaster's to the Quantum Energy's.  I have a burner and I will be getting a 5.1:1 gear ratio for deep cranking once the ice melts.

For this poll I voted Shimano since I haven't used the Quantums yet, but I'm liking what I see from the Quantums.

Lord knows I'm not a slave to brand names, but I'd have to say that I wouldn't be upset at having to use a Revo, Shimano, or a Quantum.  Never cared much for Daiwa, though.

Pfluegr and I know this is real unpoular here but the Cabelas Brand Prodigy and the new Tournament zx lines

[Bud]

Can you say S H I M A N O

[justfishin]

Man, that is a tough one. I love my Curado's but, if I have to chose one it would be my old school 5601 C3 Abu Garcia's.

[HPBB]

Hey the_muddy_man,

[Catt]

Shimano Calcutta

I do have some Texas Redneck Bubba Bass that are dieing to meet my new Shimano® Chronarch® 50Mg

[Guest the_muddy_man]

No it's the silver and gold one. They reduced them by 30 bucks I just got the 2007 Calaog this week and now they have a new prodigy at 99, buty they have the silver ones on clearance

[hi_steel_basser]

I can't vote on this, because I can't decide between Shimano and Quantum.  :-[  :-/  ;D

[New 2 Bass]

My first baitcaster Shimano, Chronarch 101.  Started in March.  Havn't touched my spinner as much since.  Convert?    :

[roadwarrior]

Hmm...

Last week when this came up, I favored one particular brand. I haven't had a chance to fish anything else recently.

I guess I'll stick with my same ole' boring response:
