philsoreel Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 It's missing the BPS emblem on the left side. Obviously, this is a BPS Pro Lite but what company made it and what model is it? Whatever it is, it's been a good one. Yeah, it's a little rickity and rough but it's lasted for seven years now and will throw a mile. I'm just curious of what it is. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted July 12, 2011 Super User Posted July 12, 2011 That would have been from the first series that they moved their mfg to Korea. It's an independent house, if you will, essentially they make all their own reels now. They control all of their process and tooling. Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 I have one of those reels as well. Not bad for what I paid for it, I caught a lot of bass on that thing. Are you looking for parts for it? Quote

I bought it in 2004, they were calling it the Finesse combo. I thought it was made by one of the big companies because at the time the top notch Johnny Morris reel looked identical to a Pflueger Supreme. Wdycrank- Not at the moment I'm not, but seven years of service for $50...I believe I owe it to the thing to fix it if it breaks. The thumb-bar/spool release, whatever you call it, was jamming a few months ago, but I got it working again. I'll holler at you when it breaks. Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Sounds fine, mine is just sitting here. In fact, I am looking at it right now. Light use on her. It was my "test," low-profile baitcasting reel for a decent price. But, as you mentioned it can cast a mile. Give me a 1/2 Zara Spook and we are talking next county for a landing pad. Quote

LOL same here about both. A spook or repo man will dang near spool it and it was my first low-profile reel. Once I fished it a few times the flood gates opened. I wanted all my reels to be low-pro and now they are. Quote
