RR, appreciate the feedback on the reels. Had never even heard of 13 fishin.
If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.

Lew's is supposedly doing a redesign on the Bass Pro reels. New models come out in the Spring. Haven't had any probs with my Pro Qualifiers or Signature Series. Most of my reels are Shimano CU-200's. Never any issues with them.

Around. Started posting again a while back. Wish I had seen you were doing reels. Just sent (8) Curados to a guy to get straightened out.

Whats funny is a $25 reel is the same price as a spool of good braid! Not saying its a bad reel and 99% of them are made in Asia and many are rebranded so worth a gamble I guess. Just like cars, reels are cheap to super expensive. A geo metro has 4 tires and gets you from a to b just like a Ferrari it all depends what you want. I like Ferrari's.

I think the price break for a good reel is around $100. Anything below that typically isn't built to last very long.
EDIT: Rat, which model BPS reels you seeing? I've had really good luck with their Pro Qualifier and the Johnny Morris Signature reel.
The Carbon Lite reel they make isn't very good. I'd stay away from that one for sure.

I love my $160 Johnny Morris Signature reel.
I also picked up a couple of the cheap Silver Max, Garcia's to flip with. I like how you can re-engage the spool with one hand when flipping/pitching like the old Castaics. They are only $60 and I don't expect much from them. You know anything about em?

RR, appreciate the feedback on the reels. Had never even heard of 13 fishin. Me neither but my son wanted a combo they had for his birthday. I'll have to say it's one sweet set up and is smooth as silk.
