7:1 Suggestions

I don't have any personal experience with the code red, but I know several people that have one, and they all wish they would have looked at a different reel, or saved up a bit for a nicer reel. I would save up a little more and get an Curado E7 (one of the best reels I have used). BPS johnny morris signature reels are on sale for $129 now. IMO that is a much better reel than the code red. I have several of these and they are nice, and very durable, and easy to adjust. I also really like the Quantum energy PT's. If you look around you can find one of last years models for around $100 - it is a sweet reel.

Thanks for the wisdom you all. I like the Quantum PTs I have now, but none are a 7:1....I'll save my money for a PT Burner or BPS....on sale with a tix for 20% off.

If you are going to hold off go to Bass Pro next spring on the reel trade in days. Buy a new zebco and donate it to the kids charity and save $100 or more on a good reel. Cost you $10 a kid gets a new reel and you save $90 in the process. Shimano does not honor the trade in, so if you stay with quantum or daiwa you will be in good shape, and do something nice for a young fisherman!

Thanks for the info about the kids trade-in. I'll probably get one before next spring and will need something else by then of course LOL! I work with about three youth tournaments or clinics, including Kid & Co. Thanks again!
