flippin and pitchin Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 As good as reels are today, I could fish with any one of them. I do lean toward Revos and have been very happy with them. My favorite though is clearly a Lews BB1N. Quote

Bass4Me007 Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 That thread is so 2010 ;DI have a few different reels, they all work well. I'd say the most trouble free reels is the TD-X103HSDL on my heavy cover rod. That thing takes a world of hurt and abuse, but keeps on ticking. I totally agree on this reel. I used to have a number of different brands, but over the years have migrated to almost all Daiwas. I also agree with the view stated a few posts above about the Fuego. I really like that reel. It depends on the application, actually, especially the weight I am casting and the rod it is matched with. But the TD-X 103 HSD has been extremely dependable. Quote

Super User Goose52 Posted February 2, 2011 Super User Posted February 2, 2011 BPS Pro Qualifier BPS Carbonlite BPS ProLite Not the best, not the most expensive, but they have class-leading features and offer the most value while still delivering required performance. Sorta honorable mention: Curado 50E - a nice reel... Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted February 2, 2011 Super User Posted February 2, 2011 I own one. A 2009 Revo STX. No complaints. Quote

0119 Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Wish I still had it but the 1600C3IAR from the International Series Abu came out with about 12 years ago. Quote
B-Dozer Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Wish I still had it but the 1600C3IAR from the International Series Abu came out with about 12 years ago. Not familiar with that model. Are you refering to a C-3? Quote
Whets Lines Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 I've sold two BPS reels...Extreme & Rick Clunn. I've sold two Quantum Energy PTs & a Quantum Tour Edition PT. I sold my pre-2010 Abu Premier. That leaves me with an Abu Garcia Skeet Reese & my Winches. I recently added a 201E7 to the mix but have yet to cast it. To date, of all the reels I've used (no Pfluegers, no Daiwas better than an Exceler, no Okuma, no Lew's, Shimano...yet, etc), I would say my Revo Winches are my favorite baitcasters. I love the big straight handles, the durability, their casting distance, and the ease of castability. (Is that a word?) Whatever... Whets 8-) Quote
