slomoe Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Are the inshore models built differently, with different materials, to inhibit salt water corrosion? Per tackletour The Inshore reel is fabricated out of an exclusive one piece X-Craftic alloy frame and crank-side cover for enhanced corrosion resistance. Along with the saltwater-ready body design the reel incorporates seven stainless steel HPCR bearings, Duragear brass gears, Carbon Matrix Drag system, centrifugal brake system, and the Infinity II spool design. The reel also uses a stainless steel crankshaft for additional durability against the corrosive saltwater environment. The Inshore reel is 8.68 ounces (9.1 ounces with the Power Handle) in weight, has a larger line capacity than the Revo STX - 12/175, and a gear ratio of 6.4:1. Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Had to vote Revo because there was no Zillion, Tierra , Core or Chronarch? I'm thinking someones in the market for a new reel! ;D Quote
mibassman Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 just bought my first two ever, a quantum accurist and a cabelas tournament zx...hopefully they are worth the money, especially the accurist Quote
Cigarlover 1 Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Only reel I own on the list is the Revo. One Revo S and One Revo SX Quote
Ky_Lake_Dude Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Revo and Quantum Energy here I used to have a curado but traded it for the Energy Quote
Super User South FLA Posted April 16, 2008 Super User Posted April 16, 2008 Also, Daiwa Zillion, Shimano Core, ABU Record, Shimano Calcuttas, Shimano Scorpion. All great reels. Sold my Revo Premier, its no high-end Shimano or Daiwa to say the least . Quote
Chad. Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Hey Chaddy : Don't worry about zipping your lip. Concieted Redneck wins the BS'er of the century award and then some. I bet he even owns all those reels or has at least borrowed one from a friend for an hour. ;D Thank god somebody thought so too ;D Quote
Super User Sam Posted April 16, 2008 Super User Posted April 16, 2008 Other than for one old Ambassador, all baitcasters are Shimano. Quote
