Curado reply :

Just wondering what kinda reels you guys used.

JTL reply :

Shimano [glb]Curado's[/glb]... great reel...

Hot n Tot reply :

all of my spinning reels are Shimano..2 Symetries, a sahara, a stradic and sustain. I have 3 curados, 2 Calcuttas, a Castaic and two Abu-Garcias.

dodgeguy reply :

PFLUEGER TRION SIZE 56 ROUND REELS.

Marty reply :

All my spinning reels for bass fishing are Daiwa Regal-Zs. I have some other reels for other types of fishing, like a 25-year-old Quick 110 and a 25-year-old Zebco Cardinal 3, both of which I use as my ultralights with 4# line. Also have a couple of Shimanos for miscellaneous uses, but I don't like that brand.

KU_Bassmaster. reply :

Casting - Shimanos: 2 Curados, 1 Castaic

Pfleuger President

Abu Garcia EON (piece of crap!!!)

Spinning - 2 Shimano Symetre

guest reply :

For baitcasting...Shimano Scorpion 1000s and 1500s for most lure work. ABU D5s for big jerkbaits and ABU LD6600s for trolling lures. Spinning reels are a mix of different size Shimano, Abu and Quantum

guest reply :

Quantum

10 all total - AC501cx's, AC401cx, EX501, QG3501 Competitions...... ;D

fritz reply :

Baitcasting - Shamino(scorpion and scorpion quickfire), Pflueger (president). Spinning I like the Okuma Metaloy the best, with Shamino's being second.

2) Quantum Accurist 501 pt

3) Quantum Accurist 501 pt

4) Quantum Accurist 501 pt

5) Quantum Catalyst pti 20

I got the Plueger Trion as a present and it is a good reel, but I like Quantum Accurist better since it is a little smaller.

Ha, yeah Raul I've been a fisherman all my life, but since in the past 2 years turned into a tackle collector instead. : ;D

Chad_M reply :

Curado super free's !!!

steltz reply :

I just got my first baitcaster.,,

I can't believe no one has a Pinnacle.

I have an Extant HS its great.

I guess that I dont know any difference because its the only Baitcaster I have ever used, but its nice.

I also have a spinner a shimano

and a daiwa spincast from like 1975

steltz reply :

What type of Curado should I buy? You guys got me excited about buying something new. Although I bought that Pinnacle yesterday. HAHA.

I payed 70 bucks for it, and I just found it on ebay for 25

Aww well.

I about to head to Table Rock, so I needed a baitcaster anyway.

Im also thinking about buying another Pinnacle, but this time the Matrix II.

http://www.silstar.com/guide/breels_matrix.html What do you guys think of this reel just by looking at the specs?

Just because it has more bearings then most reels, does that necessarily mean its better?

Yeah, made a one way trip to the "dark side" a long time ago ;D ;D ;D

Jagrrich reply :

Well somehow that darn Monkey got loose and ended up attacking me again! I was just tooling about the Cabelas website and before I knew it that darned thing had another TDZ loaded in my cart. I'm not sure how he did it but he had my CC # loaded up faster than I could hit the Cancel button! So with this mishap I am forced to update my arsenal list. Its a short list but if that monkey is still on the loose, my list might grow some more!!

Hey Steltz, I have 3 Pinnacle baitcasters and I love them! I just bought the Matrix II and I really like it. My opinion is that you can't go wrong with a Pinnacle. But that is just me.

2 x AG Rexo SX

2 x AG Revo SC

2 x AG Ambassadeur C4 5600

1 x AG Ambassabeur C4 6500

1 x AG Cardinal 500 ALB

2 x AG Crdinal 802

1 x AG Cardinal 804

1 x Browning Citori

1 x Browning Medallion

(edit) Just added 2 Shimano Curado 200 DHSV

+ couple of Daiwas I've retired.

JigNBig reply :

How has the Browning held up? I ordered one, made 6 casts, layed it down, and shipped it back to bass pro the next day. Then bought a Pfluger Supreme.

Micro reply :

Both of them have held up exceptionally well. Mine are a several years old. Bass Pro owns (or manages, or whatever) Browning fishing. In the last year or so both models have changed. I don't like the news models. There's something significantly different - they seem cheaper, less smooth, and have bling on them. My Medallion and Citori will be my last Browning reels.
