hi can anyone give me some advice on what baitcaster to buy in the price range R600-R950 i bought a daiwa megaforce 100 tsh and need 2 purcase 2 more baitcasters ? any suggestions 
 
Bud I'm not sure whether this will help but here goes, bought The Kid a BPS Pro Qualifier from Rod and Marine a couple of moths ago at R850, and that would be the best buy for that kind of money as far as I know, he hasn't had an ounce of troubles and it's really smooth and casts like a dream also not too heavy, sorry I cannot help more but I only fish with my favorites and they're a little more than that budget of yours.
 
It's not what I think it's what I know, THATS A STEAL, perhaps I could sell it for you quickly just don't let Bigmouth see the Revo S in the post then it's already sold....

jakethehake,If I can give you advice,rather save up and buy one decent reel.

I made the mistake when I started bass fishing,eventualy you want lighter and smoother and u upgrade anyway.

You can buy a decent reel for R2000.

Shimano Curado,penn sargus,daiwa's..........

Thats my 2cents worth

Kyk na jou level van hengel (weekender of competitive)

Kyk rond maar moet jou nie laat K@K vertel met R2000 en R3000 se baitcasters nie. maar try net om nie die entry van een van die "BRANDS" te vat nie. ek het al gevind dat 'n entry Shimano =R+-750 slegter as 'n zest, bennax (ek spel dank nie lekker nie) van so R650 kan wees. Die leaders in die mark weet hulle gaan verkoop met die naam agter hulle so hulle skeep somtyds af, waar die Upcomming brand moet perform om te verkoop.

Thanks

I have read and heard many good things about Bass pro shops reels. It might be something to look at. As mentioned previously you can get the reels locally.

I have a shimano Coriolis and paid like R850 or so for it. To date I have not yet experienced any problems so I am happy. (touch wood). Herewith a link for further info

Koosbass, hy het raad gevra.

Die raad wat ek gee werk vir my,jou raad werk vir jou..Hy wil verskillende menings he om sy eie te vorm ,en n besluit te maak.Moet nie ander se raad as k@k sien nie.Hou dit liewer in gedagte as jy weer koop.

Jakethehake, het n budget R600-R950 vir 2 baitcasters.As hy een koop kom dit naby R2000 uit.

n Voorbeeld.....Koop liewer 1 curado-R1650, as wat jy 2 crestfire's koop van R1580

Sterkte, hoop dit het gehelp.

As jy vir 'n baie goeie prys 'n goeie shimano wil koop dan kyk na die Chromica B,ek het myne nou al vir so 'n jaar en hulle is ongelooflik,dalk stry mense hier met my want dis mos wat hier gebeur,maar ek he nog glad nie probleme gehad met dit nie!!ek het myne vir R599 gekoop,weet nie waarvoor hulle nou gaan nie!

Jammer oor my Post. Ek het niemand direk aangeval nie, maar ek gee eerder raad wat by die ou se budget sal pas.

Sorry weer

Hi, I am not a competitive angler, I am a whenever-I-can-get-time-to-wet-a-line guy.

I recently bought a few reels from Gani's in Witbank (they can deliver to your door for R50, or they can meet you on the highway and drop your reel off - really accommodating guys!). They get new stock in, and sell their old stock at good prices:
- Shimano Citica Bantam 200B, with centrifugal brake for R600, 2 bearings (what a flippin smooth reel!)
- Tica Thalos HC100, 7 bearings, R600 (box marked (R1100)
- Tica Tactica HJ100H, 11 bearings, R700 (box marked R1243.00)

They have many others.

A Shimano Curado is around R1300 each.

I would not go for the Megaforce, too many bad experiences have been reported on Daiwa's on the other site I belong to.

Wow, all these 3 reels are super smooth, and nice to fish with. The Bantam Citica is really small, and the Tica's are great value for money I believe. I have not had them for long but they are great!

My 2c ....
