Best Reel

[Col Forbin]

If money was no object, I would go with the calais without hesitation. By far the best reel I have ever used. I fished for about an hour with one, and forced myself to put it down, so I wouldn't be too tempted to go out and get one. However, I did debate it for a while. I have never used the DC (electronic braking), but I hear great things about them. Best bang for your buck, the Curado's are hard to beat.

Abu Garcia Revo STX and Premier are the best reels I have used ... Would like to try out the Skeet Reese model. Revo = best reels out at the moment
