The reel I bought to put on the Casting rod you gave me is a Bass Pro Tourney Special marked at $49.99 retail so far I love it, but it is also the only one I have ever bought! I ran 15 lb mono on it to learn how to cast and now I throw it with 30lb braid. Have caught a few good ones on it already!

It is honestly a great reel for $55. Is it as good as my Tatula Elite? Nope, but it is also a quarter the price!

I have one and I have fished in Kansas and Nebraska (Obviously strong winds). It has held up so far with very few backlashes on low brakes with 12lb flourocarbon. Very worth it for $55.

Is it light weight? And if so how sensitive is it

@FishAnything

3 жыл бұрын

The reel is light - only 6.9oz! The sensitivity is more based on line and rod so the reel doesn’t really make a difference on that side of things.

Would it be good for pike?

@FishAnything

It would work! I’d probably go a little higher end just to ensure longevity but if this is your budget, I think you’d be fine!

Nothing like the victory splash after a catch!!! Nice review. I have Daiwa and Shimano reels as my main reels. But it is important to step down I believe and use "cheaper" reels. Keeps your baitcaster skills at a higher level. Never forget where you started right? I mean what do we all really need beyond a 40 buck Black Max? It will do everything we need without the giant price. But it isn't "sexy"

@FishAnything

3 жыл бұрын

Haha exactly! I think it is fine to go fancy if you fish a lot and put a bunch of hours and strain on the reels. Long term, the reels will eventually break if you are using a lower quality piece of equipment and working it too hard. That said, there is nothing wrong with going budget if you are smart about it. That is why I wanted to try this reel and do the review. I am loving it for $55! Definitely a good purchase.

Lots of folks are like us - I don't think it is a big deal for bass applications. I think with technical trout fishing with BFS, switching hands is less than ideal. But for casting a bass plug, I don't see it hurting me at all.
