Baitcasters

[DWB]

Hi guys,

i currently have a shimano crestfire and considering a step up coz this boytjie has worked hard and is getting tired.

What would you okes suggest?

I cant afford to spend too much. Not above say R800.

Thanks.

In that Price Range two Top reels are either Quantum's or BAss Pro shop reels......

Looking for a rod or baitcaster?

Save a little more and look at the Citica - A good all round reel. At the end of the day you need to get something that allows you to easily cast "weightless" baits and must have a good drag. There is nothing better than having good reels as it adds to the fishing comfort experience, even if it means saving a little harder or longer.

Save for a Shimano Viento

Or a Abu Garcia Revo STX

shimano viento???
daiwa viento is it not?

 

[BucknutZ]

quantum......for that price bud

 

[scuba]

have a look at the bass pro shop pro qaulifier... thats all i use on my setups... same guys that do the johnny morris

Or just buy another Crestfire, I just got mine and am loving it, really casts well with a .12mm braid

 

[Ryan]

What on Earth are you fishing for with .12mm braid? -Ragged tooth sharks?.........................LOL

Seriously Deon - what do you plan on using the reel for Bass, Barbel etc?
Worming?
Cranking?
Topwaters?
Spinnerbaits?
ETC

Hey guys, just got a daiwa exceller. 8 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing. good little reel paid R699.00

 

[Ryan]

Nice one......
Pity it is a Diawa..................LOL
Sounds like you got a steal there

 

[DWB]

well i had 2 shimmies packing up on me already...hehe

 

[Ryan]

hehe maybe they were Diawa's with Shimmie labels on...............LOL

 

[HennieG]

I invested in a Quantum Code Burner and a Diawa Exceler 2500 and believe me..............I'm very happy with both of them!!

 

[DWB]

I got the exceller baitcaster

 

[Sage]

Give a Shimano Cruxis 200,you wont be dissapointed!!

Nice choice there with the exceller. I was going to suggest that. I've got two of them. They have a great feel to them and are pretty strong. I found other reels to feel weak and flimsey. I love the fact that the exceller is mainly metal... For it's price, I'd say it's one of the best. Haven't had any problems with them...
