Nov 11, 2017 · I can only comment on the reels I have used . My deep diving reel is a BPS Johnny Morris with a 5.2 to 1 gear ratio . My older Abus 4600's with 4.6 to 1 cast a mile and have the torque .

Sep 17, 2024 · I was given a Walmart gift card. After buying the usual assortment of hooks, line and lures, I had about $20.00 left on the card. Just for fun I decided to buy an Ozark Trail spinning reel (about $15.00) to keep on a cheap rod in the truck for spur of the moment fishing stops. I …

Nov 4, 2024 · But neither the SV or MGL spools are really required, learning to cast with these reels is challenging at first (talking about regular casting reels), but youll get the hang of it within a week. Theres plenty of help on here and Youtube. I started and learned on a $30 Black Max, with a minimal braking system compared to what i have now.

Apr 28, 2024 · On my three BFS reels, Curado SLX, I use 10# Power Pro and a 3’ fluro leader on the worm rig only. When filling a spool completely full while running it through a wet towel, cleaning the line as well as applying tension and guiding it to assure an even wrap as possible.

Nov 6, 2024 · One thing nice about having a gang of reels from the same series - e.g., all '18 Stella series, or all '22 Stella series) - within the series and same frame size, the spools interchange, and you can keep one spare spool for every reel in that size.

I'm glad Aliexpress reels exist for ultra budget anglers and will recommend the aluminum frame reels I have experience with but there are some absolute garbage reels out there and this is one of them. I've seen that reel all over Aliexpress in the $20 range for years.

Dec 23, 2024 · Not at all. If you go back 10-15 years ago, most 2500 sized reel were around 8oz+. Now you have reels that average around 6oz. So to compare say the Vanquish to the Twin Power, you're looking at about 1.5 - 2.0 oz difference depending on the model. The main difference between the two is the drag start up.

Jul 6, 2024 · The new-fangled baitcasting reels and rods I have figured out pretty well, but the new spinning gear is a bit different. I have a 30 size Abu Garcia Revo on a medium 7' rod with 8lb test, and it's perfectly balanced.

Jul 31, 2024 · I just traded the SV reels in at ALF for Tatula Elites, got new ones that way. The Elites sure are tough, great casting reels. They even cast a little farther than my Shimano MGL and MGL II reels. Yes, SV is still best in terms of skipping - but lighter lures (1/16-3/16 oz) I use BFS and get far easier casting and better distance.

Nov 5, 2024 · Hey, I picked up a rod by level rods, the NGX spinning model. I never heard of the company but apparently they have been around for a little while. All the reviews of this rod are very positive, and it seems to be made with solid components. Does anyone have any experience with these rods or this...
