Super User eyedabassman Posted January 2, 2011 Super User Posted January 2, 2011 I have to put one of my bait caster to sleep! And I was looking at these 4 reels. I know that two of them are new and that the jury is still out on the two. But maybe someone has fished them by now. I do have a Carbon lite and I like it very much but I was thinking of asking to compare the 4 of these if possible! PS= I am also looking at the new Shimano Caenan Quote
Nibbles Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I would not recommend the Orra. I have heard good things about the Caenan. Carbonlite is good for lighter baits, but otherwise there's really no NEED for an extra light reel. Quote
Blue Streak Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 For a few more bucks I would buy a Revo S. Great reel for that price. Quote
Stasher1 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I'd say Orra, Carbon Lite, or PQ. The others have graphite frames, which is a deal breaker for me. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted January 2, 2011 Super User Posted January 2, 2011 I admire innovation (and the risk that goes with it), but I wouldn't go with an Enigma yet - too new (plus, it's got that nasty graphite frame). Of the rest, since I'm a BPS reel user, I'd go with another CL or the PQ - the choice depends on the applications you plan for the reel and the gear ratio that you think you need. As always with BPS reels, if you can ........................... wait for the sale ! Quote
The Guy Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I had an orra for about a month. It was very smooth and I liked the braking system, but the anti-reverse would fail at certain time so I sent it back. I am not sure if this is a common problem or just an isolated incident. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted January 2, 2011 Super User Posted January 2, 2011 Citica or CL are the best bet. Get a PQ though if you want a ratio besides 6.X:1 Quote
