IF/When I Bass fish ... I mostly throw cranks and plastics. My crankbait reel is a Shimano Calcutta 200 .. which I use for all the cranks I throw. My plastics throwin reel is a Bantam Mag 10X.
Don't really do much Bass fishing, anymore ... so I've just kept my "old school" equipment ... LOL !!
If I need "maximum distance" (over controlled distance) ... I'd use my Shimano Spirex 2000 spinning reel / 7ft Bionic Blade.
