    Re: What kind of reels

    For all my casting methods :

    Shimano Calcutta 200 .... all cast/retrieve baits
    Bantam Mag 10X .... worms/craws
    Shimano Spirex 2000RD ... small baits & topwater baits

    Works for me !!!

    Re: What kind of reels

    Quantum!!!
    Smlljaw showed me a website the other day called tackletour.com and they rate and compare these items.. It's pretty interesting and woth taking a peek at.
    I have owner all the different kinds of reels but as far as quality and durability, Quantum has been the best for me..

    X2 on the Pro Qualifier and Quantums (I have the KVD series)....pair them with St. Croix Mojo Bass rods and you've got a good combo for under $200!

    I ask this same question a while back, and got the same answers you are getting. So I took everyones advice and narrowed it down to a curado and a revo. I went with the curado, to my I liked the way it felt in hand better than the revo. I dont think you could go wrong with either one. If you want a great reel for 80 bucks BPS has the pro qualifer on sale. I bought one of these last year and it is very nice, for the money nothing can touch it. Hope this helps, good luck.
