BPS series reels

[lroberts]

I've had BPS and reels and they are okay....but I firmly believe that Shimano makes a better product.

For the price difference you pay for them they are not that much better. The Pro Qualifiers and J.M reels are great reels, very smooth, long casting, and durable......but not quite as light. I agree that Shimano's are good reels....my buddy has all Shimano's and I have used them.....if blind folded I could not tell a difference though.

I've moved away from the OLD curado green reels to the Johnny Morris reels.

Shimano used to be the best of the best, but some of their stuff is GARBAGE lately. Most of their new spinning gear is junk. And I'm not too happy with the 2 new Green Curado's I have.

I can get 2 Johnny Morris reels for the price of one new Curado. I purchased 2 Curados and 2 Johnnys the same week had have been using them exclusively the past 3 or so years. The Johnnys show more wear, and I've had one minor problem with 1 Johnny, but besides that I'm pretty happy with them.

The jury is still out the spinning gear. They don't seem to wear as good as the shimanos but they DEFINITELY perform better, I think.

Later,

guys. I was going to go Friday also and get some Johnny Morris reels. Looked like a good price. But I run up on this Okuma with one of my sponsors. I can tell you this is a sweet reel. 9 BB Low profile. $69.00 Check it out on Monster Fishing. Click on my link www.owencountybassmasters.com then look for Monster fishing. Click that then check out the Okuma.
Several of us on here have bought them. I really like that reel

I have 2 carbonlite reels, 2 pro qualifiers with the carbonlite frames, and the extreme crankin reel. Had extremes for yrs and now the carbonlites. Love the size, weight and affordablity. The johnny morris reels seem heavy to me.
