HPBB reply :

i was a Shimano only man, but now I like others

imy picks would be

1. Shimano

2. Team Daiwa

3. Pinnacle

WCCT reply :

1. Quantum

2. Daiwa

I used to be strictly a Daiwa guy until the new Quantums came out.

I drink from the fountain of Shimano, although I have a TDA that I really like.

cabela10 reply :

I've only used Shimano and going into this season, I will be converting most of my baitcaster's to the Quantum Energy's. I have a burner and I will be getting a 5.1:1 gear ratio for deep cranking once the ice melts.

For this poll I voted Shimano since I haven't used the Quantums yet, but I'm liking what I see from the Quantums.

Lord knows I'm not a slave to brand names, but I'd have to say that I wouldn't be upset at having to use a Revo, Shimano, or a Quantum. Never cared much for Daiwa, though.

Pfluegr and I know this is real unpoular here but the Cabelas Brand Prodigy and the new Tournament zx lines

Can you say S H I M A N O

justfishin reply :

Man, that is a tough one. I love my Curado's but, if I have to chose one it would be my old school 5601 C3 Abu Garcia's.

HPBB reply :

"I like the Cabelas Brand Prodigy "

Shimano Calcutta

I do have some Texas Redneck Bubba Bass that are dieing to meet my new Shimano® Chronarch® 50Mg

guest reply :

No it's the silver and gold one. They reduced them by 30 bucks I just got the 2007 Calaog this week and now they have a new prodigy at 99, buty they have the silver ones on clearance

hi_steel_basser reply :

I can't vote on this, because I can't decide between Shimano and Quantum. :-[ :-/ ;D

New 2 Bass reply :

My first baitcaster Shimano, Chronarch 101. Started in March. Havn't touched my spinner as much since. Convert? :

roadwarrior reply :

Hmm...

Last week when this came up, I favored one particular brand. I haven't had a chance to fish anything else recently.

I guess I'll stick with my same ole' boring response:

guest reply :

A true member of the Posse, the sherrif will be proud of you

CSB reply :

Shimano. I do like my Daiwa reels, IMO the MagForce system is much better than the system found on most Shimano's.

roadwarrior reply :

I sure would be fun if all 7000 members voted.

I wonder if there are more than 25 other members that would vote "incorrectly?" :

guest reply :

I did not realize you had 25 guys in the posse already

justtrying reply :

it's not that i'm a shimano man, it's just that all the reels i'm using now are made by them. Siiiiigggghhh

That's not so unpopular to me Muddy. I like Shimanos first and Daiwas second, but I have one Cabela's Tournament ZX that has served me well for three years with no problems. It's not as smooth as a more expensive reel but it gets the job done.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanooooooooooooooooo
