Mr. Dam0007 aka Shimano fanboy is about to purchase
Vertias Winch Rod
Revo Winch Reel
You guys have 1 hour to discourage me or encourage me. Lmao
Waiting till Black Friday to buy other stuff I don't need but want. Lol
Just a heads up but wal-mart.com has the Veritas Winch rod for $70.

I hate you now, never mind LMG.... Don't do it, you will regret it.
Im flattered to be called out on a topic for a post. Discourage you from buying that reel I will not, nor can I really not discourage from the rod. Abu Veritas is an amazing rod for the $. Im sure you have taken a look at all the reels in the $200 price range, so the only thing you can do is your own personal homework. Im sure you are going Gen3 on the Winch reel, I dont know if there are many reviews out there for them yet for you to better get an idea of customer satisfaction. I dont know what brake system this reel is equiped with, but I know that I personally dont like Abu brake systems. The only thing that I would suggest would be to try out an Chronarch 200E5. I wont hate you for not buying a Shimano, but Im not going to let you in my clubhouse anymore, LOL. Good choice on the rod.

Just so everyone knows I pushed the real LMG overboard when we went fishing a month ago and replaced him with a much more agreeable robot....lol
Lmaoooooooo hahahaahahhaahahaha I'm in tears!
On Tacklwarehouse its on clearance for $159
Abu Revo Winch Left Hand Retrieve 5. Something ratio
I wanted the Chronarch 201E5 missed one another guy was selling here, and idk been procrastinating. Made another thread about my trip to cabelas. I know other stuff I want, this pair will be my first BC set up and if its a matching set I don't see the harm in it. Trust me I'm worried about parting from Shimano but 1 reel I could give to a friend down the road isn't a big deal to me. If your free for a few minutes check out the reel let me know what you think. www.***.com/Abu_Garcia_REVO_Winch_Casting_Reel/descpage-AGRW.html
Thats the previous model. Im going to have to say nay. I would buy the Chronarch E if I were you, especially for a first baitcaster. The Chronarch is easier to adjust, even if you decide to use it for other things. Also, why do you want a 5 speed, are you only using it for deep cranking?

Dude that reel is still for sale 145 tyd. Thought u might want to know
I don't understand!? Hold on
Lol I typed w. T. F. And it auto matically put I don't understand lmaoooo
Just emailed him. I thought he sold it I was trying to 'buy it now' when he put it on ebay but the tab wasn't showing up.
As soon as he calls texts me to confirm I'm ordering it!
UPDATE Cart at $100 My Birthday is Monday so I'm treating myself
And LMG yes this reel/rod... This setup is gonna be my crank specific combo. As long as I get the hang of BC. Lol
If the reel is going to be used for deep cranking then the winch will be a better fit for you. Anything else though im using the chronarch. The winch is a very easy reel to cast. Im a huge shimano fan but if im doing any deep cranking im using a winch.

I ended up with the Curado E, because of the shoot out test done by Tackle Tour, couldn't be happier. They compared the Winch, crazy cranker, quantum, and curado. Its an interesting read, plus the curado has a lower ipt.
Goin for chronarch!
Hey while I have everyones attention. Lol
I switched out my SC Preimier to my Symetre (for worms and top water) and wanna put a new rod on my Stradic. Can't afford to blow $300+ on a Loomis right now. Originally was going to find use for my Crowder but not for this app. Debating between Wild Black Carrot and a Crucial maybe another SC. This set up I want as my Spinner Bait specific combo.
I am now a proud owner of a Chronarch so LMG can't hate me anymore. Haha if anyone has any input on spinning rod for spinnerbaits please throw me ur opinions
Great reel, your gonna love it. You got a killer price.
Thanks again Dave.
You're gonna love the reel. It'll be in the mail tomorrow!
LMG I passed on the Veritas and ordered a 5'6" Ugly Stik! Lmaoooo
No seriously I passed on the Veritas ordered
Dobyns Champion Series CS684CB Steve hooked me up with a site that has 20% off
Still a good rod. Thats going to be a hell of a combo.
Not too shabby for a first BC setup.
Yeah buddy, do it right the 1st time!
Gonna put buying a spinning reel on hold till I get some time on the water with this set up.

The Winch, if I remember correctly has the infiniti break system like the STX
I meant put a spiining ROD on hold.
Another site has the gen 3 Revo Winch on sale for the same price. I prefer the 3 for sure as it has the infini brakes so you don't have to take the sideplate off to adjust every time. I just ordered one myself. Pm if you want the site!
