Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted September 5, 2008 Super User Posted September 5, 2008 REVO, REVO, REVO. Falcon Quote
Stasher1 Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 While I can't tell you which reel to get, I can tell you which one NOT to buy. Don't bother with the Daiwa Megaforce. A quick search for "Megaforce" will give you all info you need. Quote
Big Tom Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 I am going to have to go with Revo too. I love mine. Great little reel. Quote
Bass XL Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Out of the ones on the list, I would say the revo s. Quote
Super User Sam Posted September 6, 2008 Super User Posted September 6, 2008 Anything Shimano. Revo a distant second. Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted September 6, 2008 Super User Posted September 6, 2008 trion without a doubt. Quote
Super User Muddy Posted September 6, 2008 Super User Posted September 6, 2008 What that Mook just before me said ;D Quote
plastic ninja Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Save up a few more bucks an go with a revo sx $159.00. The revo s has a six pin brake which is fine if you're a shimano guy. The revo sx has a mag brake that out preforms the s model, plus a couple more bearings. Quote
adclem Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 SHIMANO, the Citica 200E will be worth it. Later, Quote
MichBassMan Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 With Shamano NOT being a choice? I guess Revo S would be my pick over the others. Quote

21farms Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 what's with all the canned answers spewing the same biases? everytime someone asks about gear, it turns into a ticking contest between brands? : snapper, the best advice i can give you is this. among your choices, narrow it down to the models with a one-piece aluminum frame (versus a graphite frame). i've found that makes the single biggest difference in feel and durability in this range of sub-$100 reels. then, i also recommend that you consider size and weight of the reel. i'd go for the smallest and lightest one that fits best in the palm of your hand. over time, if you fish a lot, i think you really appreciate this.

Super User dodgeguy Posted September 6, 2008 Super User Posted September 6, 2008 What that Mook just before me said ;D pflueger buddies forever!!!ROFLMAO!!!seriously folks,the trions at $99 compete with and outcast reels costing twice as much. Quote
