RyanH Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Hey Guys, i just curious as to what Fishing reel you use for Bass Fishing, and what you think about it? I like Shimano Reels! I use the Curado reel! They are super sweet and Smooth casting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallmunster Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: Reels? I really like the Abu Garcia Cardinal for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: Reels? Ambassaduer gets my vote. I have used them since I was a teenie bopper, and have never let me down. I got one now that I won last year, its a TG5000 on a matched 7' med hvy rod. This thing will cast like you wouldn't believe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerdanmagic Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Re: Reels? Im a Shimano man too!!! Calcutta all the way!!!! I also love my chronarch. So smooth and so much controll. My buddy just bought the new Shimano reel with the chip in it, think its called a TE. Anyway, we were down in FL, and I threw a Rat L Trap 90 yrds with it. Now, why you need to throw a lure 90 yards...I dont know. But it was a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntinsonovagun Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Re: Reels? [ QUOTE ] Hey JERDAN i dont think i have heard of this reel with a Chip in it????? Inform me please? [/ QUOTE ] I heard something about them. $600 reel I believe. From what I've heard, you can imput the distance you want to throw, and the cast towards it. If you wanted to cast 45.7 feet away, just put it in and cast the direction you want it to go. Funny....you don't see the pros using them. I wouldn't mind playing with one for a couple hours though.........just don't drop it in the water. I use a Shimano Sidestab spinning reel. Just bought an ultralight combo tonight for trout fishing....think it's a Shakespeare. Not top-notch, but it'll get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyrod64 Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Re: Reels? I don't bass fish enough to invest in bass gear so I just use my faithful ole Zebco 33! Always held up pretty good so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABuckSlayer Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Re: Reels? I use mostly Quantum Reels. The Rick Clunn BPS reels are pretty good too. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldawg Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Re: Reels? I love my Shimano's. I've got alot of different ones. I just bought a St. Croix on ebay last year, but didn't get a chance to try it out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Re: Reels? My primary night time bass setup is a Pflueger Gold Medalist spinning reel under a 6'6" Ugly Stik. I like that reel alot. No backlash at all, drag works slick, and it is silky smooth. My backup setup is a Shimano on an Ugly Stik, which I am pretty happy with also.

Chrud Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Re: Reels? Not really a bait-casting guy, unless it's a musky unit. I've been using Quantum, but might switch over to Mitchell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
