shimano bantam chronarch 100

[RedEye]

Guys, I'm a bit of a part time bass fisherman as I am lucky to have mates with farm dams and the bass have been wild lately.

I just bought a second hand shimano bantam chronarch 100 in perfect condition for R250. Is that a decent deal? and what line would you recomend I put on it. Braid or mono?

Thanks in advance!

If you learning how to use a baitcaster mono is the way as braid has a tendancy to dig in on a overwind.

Ok, thanks. And the reel? Is it any good for that price?

Redeye, as far as I could gather is a steal bud, there's one on e-bay for 147USD which is the cheapest I could find in a short space in time and that ammounts to roughly around R1100, unless there's a sealiner that had the thought of selling his for cheaper, new ones imported will set you back double the ZAR mentioned, so I reckon it was a good price.

Cool, thanks man, appreciate the help there! I will be testing it out this weekend as the bass are wild at the moment down here.

No probs bud, remeber to take pics and report on Monday, happy hunting.

Will do, unless the saltwater conditions are good as that takes preference.

Then you'll be reporting in the Saltwater section I HOPE! Enjoy.

Hopefully one or the other!

DEFS one or the other.  You've got two choices, one has to work, just choose the right one.....
