I am feeling so left out: WHERE"S THE PFLUEGER TRION YOU MOOK

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

Doesn't fit the price range

KB Nation reply :

Voted Energy, but also own a Chronarch! After owning a Shimano, thats all Im ever going to buy! You cant go wrong with owning a Shimano! JMO!

Micro reply :

I voted Revo, but also own Johnny Morris in the same price range.

IL_Bassman reply :

Revo here!

0119 reply :

Curado here, been trying the Revo but it doesnt compare to well to the Curados that make up the rest of my arsenal. Besides nobody else will vote Curado......its too heavy, too expensive, its a tank, i cant hold it up all day.....

grimlin reply :

Voted citica and quantum accurist.All my gear gets used in some way some how.

Bassn Blvd reply :

Abu Premier, Sol, Curado and Pflueger Supreme.

Jake P reply :

Revo's, and soon to be a citica ;D. I only voted for Revo though.

Evan Pease reply :

TD Sol. Love that thing...

Matt Jungblut reply :

what no mg50

sorry guess i cant vote

Hooked_On_Bass reply :

Out of those listed.......Curado.

ww2farmer reply :

2 Revo's, a Curado, a Citica, an Accurist CX and an Accurist PT. All non-Revos will become Revos soon..............even the new Shimano's I bought this winter, they just don't compare for the price to the Revo's IMHO

FishTank reply :

Curado, Revo Premier (for now)

Where's the Daiwa Zillion? One of the best workhorse reels out there.

Catt reply :

Predigest! No round reels

Yeah! I have one of those too. ;D

fish-fighting-illini reply :

I voted Citica ( only BC I use anymore).

I use spinning reels the most.

Jimzee reply :

I voted for the Sol. Technically I don't own the Sol, but I have five of their JDM twins, the Alphas. I am a Daiwa guy though, so my answer is a little bias.

The_Natural reply :

Daiwa Sol for sure. It really is a refined little reel with a great paint job. I've owned a couple for a while now, and they are nearly the same as the JDM Alphas I own. Great reel for weightless baits....

rfrazier reply :

fuego, couple curados, citica, moving towards the daiwas, sol next

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

Excellent feedback guys, thanks.

I agree what about the 4600's??

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

Guys this isn't something preferential, I am accumulating data for something specific. Thanks for participating

wavewalker reply :

abu 6000 two, 65 pd. braid

M_Fields. reply :

I use my curado's most of the time, with a few citica's in there.

ThomasL reply :

I voted sol and daiwa pro since i didn't see team daiwa supertuned x's on here!I have used the sol twice but am thinking of going ahead and selling it to buy a 5.7oz pixy. :

flechero reply :

Have: Revo S, Revo Premier, TDZ-BBS, 50MG's (5), Core, Abu 4600

Still have but don't use: Abu 4600's (8?), 5500's (3), and a few other old Abu's.

Don't like the TDZ-BBS at all. It was a huge disappointment and a giant wasted of money. The only 2 positives about the BBS are weight and looks.

If it helps in crunching your data, I replaced the Abu's I was using with 50MG's, because I like the lighter weight and had the money, not because the 4600's weren't good reels. (but the 50's are much nicer! ...lol)

Zel... reply :

Man, I have 7 baitcast combos, but none on the list... I feel so inadequate... it's a wonder I catch fish at all. Lookin' to set up a bait monkey outlet LBH (Abu Garcia's are the best selling reels, followed by Shimano)?

Davis reply :

Citica 100dsv

Citica 200d

Citica 200dpv

I have an Revo S but getting rid of it shortly.

Love the Shimanos so much that I'm going all Shimano.

Can I be part of the posse now lol.

Alpster reply :

The Revo Premier and Daiwa Sol are at the same price point (within $10) as the Cronarch 50Mg. I don't have any reels on the list, so I'm no help here.

Maxximus Redneckus reply :

wow 209 votes and 24% are for the new Revo how long has the new curado been out ??no wonder they are doing a makeover and this can mean a lot considering there are more choices for curados then revos .there are 5 kinds of revos all based on the same size frame BUT what matters in 2008 is material differances, price points, bearin count etc etc , all the way from Joe public to skeet reese YEEEEEEEHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW ABU FOR LIFE!!!!!!!

Hey Chaddy : Don't worry about zipping your lip. Concieted Redneck wins the BS'er of the century award and then some. I bet he even owns all those reels or has at least borrowed one from a friend for an hour. ;D

THEbassmaster reply :

Curado, Energy, and an Accurist. Honestly, my favorite out of the three is probably the Accurist, just seems most versatile to me.

There are a lot of Shimanos to choose from and as Alpster pointed out, Chronarchs are not on the list. (Calcutta series didn't make the list, either.)

Shimano:

Calais CL200

(2) CTE200GT

Chronach

Metanium

Abu Garcia:

Revo STX

Well, the Revo (any) includes the S, SX, STX, and Premier which spans a price range of about $100 to $250. For a true comparison the Citica and Curado should be added together and the Chronarch should also be included to match up with the Premier.

But, if you just add the Citica to the Curado you have more Shimano's than Revo's.

slomoe reply :

citica & revo inshore.

guest reply :

Are the inshore models built differently, with different materials, to inhibit salt water corrosion?

ba7ss3in reply :

Quantum for me. Have 3 accurist but replacing them with Tours and Energies.

Masshole Mike reply :

basser89 reply :

Per tackletour

Quote
The Inshore reel is fabricated out of an exclusive one piece X-Craftic alloy frame and crank-side cover for enhanced corrosion resistance. Along with the saltwater-ready body design the reel incorporates seven stainless steel HPCR bearings, Duragear brass gears, Carbon Matrix Drag system, centrifugal brake system, and the Infinity II spool design. The reel also uses a stainless steel crankshaft for additional durability against the corrosive saltwater environment. The Inshore reel is 8.68 ounces (9.1 ounces with the Power Handle) in weight, has a larger line capacity than the Revo STX - 12/175, and a gear ratio of 6.4:1.

HOIST-N-HAWGS reply :

Had to vote Revo because there was no Zillion, Tierra , Core or Chronarch? I'm thinking someones in the market for a new reel! ;D

mibassman reply :

just bought my first two ever, a quantum accurist and a cabelas tournament zx...hopefully they are worth the money, especially the accurist

guest reply :

Thank you much!

Cigarlover 1 reply :

Only reel I own on the list is the Revo. One Revo S and One Revo SX

Ky_Lake_Dude reply :

Revo and Quantum Energy here I used to have a curado but traded it for the Energy

South FLA reply :

Also, Daiwa Zillion, Shimano Core, ABU Record, Shimano Calcuttas, Shimano Scorpion. All great reels.

Sold my Revo Premier, its no high-end Shimano or Daiwa to say the least .
