BPS reels

[fisheater]

from what i read about this reel[which im just sure is salesman talk]is that its supposed to be over built w/the best parts.i hope so,this is my first nice or should i say expensive reel ive ever bought,i got alot of walmart and meier quantums combos,you know the 40 dollar combos and they last me 5 or 6 years easy and i fish alot.i was hoping i stepped up big time with this reel purchase but maybe not,now im debating just taking it back and getting that quantum energy pti spinning reel for 30 bucks more.i wanted a real nice reel for once and i hope that i didnt just get fooled by the desciption of it.

If you return the spinning reel you bought and spend more for another, consider a Shimano Stradic. I get tired of everyone crowing about how great Shimano reels are, but there's a reason they do. They're a darned good value.

After tiring of folks touting Shimano and not wanting to support the Japanese economy, I bought 2 Johnny Morris spinning reels to replace a couple of Stradics that had been stolen from me. One of the Stradics I'd had for many years, and it still fished like new. The other was a newer model I traded a guy a Lews baitcaster for. It was a funky white color but fished sweet.

The JM reels are well balanced and smooth as silk, but they're just plain out not built as well as the Stradic. That's firsthand experience not hearsay. Never had a Quantum pti, so I have no opinion.
