Super User Hammer 4 Posted May 19, 2009 Super User Posted May 19, 2009 I'm not up on the current reels, I have looked at the discriptions on a few sites, but ya know how that goes, I'd like some Real world suggestions from you guys. I did look at the Pflugers on TW, but noticed they aren't available in the lefty's..? Rell will be mainly used for plastics on a 6'6" Rick Clunn bps rod. I'd like a good casting reel, one that doesn't require lots of adjustmen, and in a low profile model. Brand isn't as important as quality, and feel. So...whatcha think..? BTW, if absolutly have to spend another 30.00 or so..that would be o.k. Quote
Quitlimpin Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Ebay FTW. New curado E7's for $150 all day. STX's $160-$170. Last year's model of Quantum Energy PT's on closeout for about $100. Hell of a deal on the PT's, they aren't quite in the same class as the shimano or abu but I love mine plus they look sweet. Quote
bigmountaineer Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Ebay is by far the best place. I got the 09 Quantum Catalyst for $79 NIB and the Energy PT 09 for $ 118. You have to be patient and you'll get a great deal. Quote
adclem Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I would go with the Shimano Curado. Very nice reel. Casts light baits very well and is very smooth. Will not be disappointed. Later, Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 19, 2009 Super User Posted May 19, 2009 The brand matters to a lot of guys...I'm a Shimano fan: CU200E7 http://www.deloscustomtackleshack.com/reels/shimanocurado_E.html 8-) Quote
moloch16 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Can't go wrong with an Abu Garcia Revo SX. Simply a phenomenal reel. Quote
Use ONLY Stren Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Pflueger President, or you can get the johnny morris elite series on sale at BPS for 179.00. both very good reels. Quote
