nwibass Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Debating these reels, I have a premier already thinking abouyt getting another one, or even a premier and also an exo. I was liking the 200G, lots of people say negative things about it, but its a great compact reel, will be use for top water, jerkbaits, sq bills and traps. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted January 17, 2012 Super User Posted January 17, 2012 I would say get another premier, or an exo. If you want a curado skip the G and get an E off of the bay. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted January 17, 2012 Super User Posted January 17, 2012 What happened to the Lews, Exo, Premier debate? Quote
nwibass Posted January 17, 2012 Author Posted January 17, 2012 What happened to the Lews, Exo, Premier debate? Already got a Premier from that debat hooligan, looks like a relapse. lol, I'm leaning toward getting the exo, but I will probably just get both haha. Quote
ChiCityBasser Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 My lean would be towards the EXO but have to put that on hold for a minute. ;) Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 The SX or STX in the Revo line is more apples to apples when comparing to the other two. Shimano has a big gap between the new Chronarch and Core price points and the Premier falls somewhere in the middle. Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted January 17, 2012 Super User Posted January 17, 2012 No G, go E. I actually like the look of the EXO. I hope it performs as good as it looks, but Im sure it does. Quote
B@ssCrzy Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Curado E series. Don't go with the G. You can get a brand new 200/201E for $133 on ohya.com with free shipping and no tax. I have bought two of these recently to stock up since they are going out. Looks like you would save $70 or so to be able to pair you new reel with a decent rod. Great reels!! Quote
telmomarques Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 what about daiwa zillion, the best reel i ever owned Quote
Jim3h Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I'd go with the premier or the curado without a doubt. I've used my friends exo and i really don't like the feel of it. It feels like its made from cheap plastic and the free spool button is the thinnest plastic on it! i was afraid to press it!! Quote
nwibass Posted January 17, 2012 Author Posted January 17, 2012 Yeah guys I'm torn between 3 now, 200e7, premier 6.4:1, or Zillion 7.1:1? I can get any of them, I have 4 curado E's and I know they excellent, if i compensated and got the curado I could probably get more jerkbaits, hudds, and topwater baits like I want to get. *quote me if you reply Quote
LuckyHandsINC. Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Forget about the zillion. I don't see the love it gets at all. It's not a bad reel at all but its definitely my least favorite reel in my arsenal behind the mgx which is crazy to think its only $30 more. I also prefer my team lews, patriarch xt both of which are $70 cheaper at full retail and the XT is on sale everywhere. Of the reels you listed I would go with the premier as its almost the same reel as the pat.xt and i love that thing. It was by far my favorite reel before I got the mgx. Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted January 18, 2012 Super User Posted January 18, 2012 If you have 4 E's, than I would get something different. Expand your collection, thats what I do. Each reel that you get has its own charactoristic. I have all different reels, and like rods, they all have a strong point of use, and thats what they get rigged up for. Just my opinion, to me its nice to look at and use something different everytime I pick up a rig for use. Quote
