    What Jerry meant to say is the best bass fisherman use revos. LOL Seriously you have to try them and see what's best for you. Asking a question like this is going to get a whole bunch of personal preferences which isn't going to help you.

    Shimano all the way...they have been on top for so long and when you consider how fickle fishermen are you can understand what a strong statement that is.

    Come on Daniel get a Garcia most people prefer Shimano but most are crazy expensive, but i'm not saying they are not good because they are but i prefer Garcia. Some reasons are i have always used em and i love them, they hold up well, they cast smooth, and reel smooth, they have a great action, and many more reasons. If you just want an all around great reel for your money go with Garcia and you wont be let down, trust me.
    I know people will probobly argue their point of which one is better but from my experiences Garcia is better. But i guess thats what opinions are for.

    Good luck on the buy. let me know what you get.

    Get the Shimano. I am biased, but I guarantee you won't be disappointed. What model are you looking at?
