kgfisher Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Looking to get a new baitcaster. Have narrowed the search down to 3 possible candidates. The Okuma serrano, the Lew's Tournament Series, and the BPS JM Signature Series are all under consideration. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote
RueTwo Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 I recently bought and love the BPS CarbonBlack reel, not too big not too small, all around smooth and great appeal. Also, if you buy a BPS reel from their store they will give you a one year warranty compared to buying another brand and it only be 1-3 month warranty. When that is up you will have to go through the other brand company and have a hassle when your able to drop by the store and have any problems fixed on the spot. Best of Luck ! RueTwo 1 Quote
dmac14 Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Look like two posts above this the 50e is on sale for ~$98 TYD and the regular curado could be bought from tw for $120 TYD. Fantastic reels, just bought two of the 200 size reels and couldn't be happier. 1 Quote
Jim_M Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Anyone of those are fine IMO. I picked up the J. Morris Signature from BPS last week. The more I use it the more I love it, casts GREAT even with regular old 12# mono. So I guess you just gotta pick one and practice. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted July 4, 2011 Super User Posted July 4, 2011 I am a fan of BPS BC reels (I have 13 of them)...but the current deals on the Shimano Curado 50E & 200E cannot be beat. You might want to reconsider your options... Quote
David301 Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 I own 2 of the BPS JM Signature Series and like them very much. I also own a US Reels Hibdon Supercaster 800 SX and I must say it cast like a dream and outcast my BPS reels by atleast 20 feet, but I do not care for how the "see-saw" levelwind puts line on the spool.

midnighthrasher Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 With the 50e for 98$ it should be your 1st choice!!! Quote
