New Baitcast opinions please
Message:
Im torn. Im going to replace my 5 casting reels. Prefer to stay with same manufacture and model for all 5. Some of the reels im looking at dont offer my prefered gear ratio of 5.0. I may be able to deal with the 6.2's, but i find with the higher ratio, i fish to fast and have a hard time slowing down.
Either way, here is what im looking at so far,
Looking at ABU GARCIA REVO S, some other models, and some shimano's, models like Cruxis and citica.
The curado is to much $$$ for me. My idea was to stay under 150 each, but was surprised at the cost of the Revo's when they were recomended to me. They seem like a slam dunk deal, so far. Also, the Revo is much lighter, and just looks better than the shimano comparables :)

I hear a lot of people saying good stuff about the Revo's,..but a lot of reels feel good when they are fairly new. The reason why I, personally stick with Shimano, is that they just hold up year, after year, after year.....
THAT's what I'd be concerned about with the Abu's. For me,..that'd be enough reason to go with the Criticas,..especially since they still have that $30 rebate going on them! Just my $.02
