Which reels
Well my birthday is coming up soon. Thinking a new rod and reel is going to be a necessary birthday present. I'm just hung up on which reel to get. I have very limited experience with the more high dollar reels and am looking for some input. I know it's a can of worms but it'll be interesting. Considering either a revo, curado, or one of the Lews reels. So let's hear all the wonderful stories and horror stories that come along with these reels.

Any Shimano or Lews $99 and above.

I love my Lews baitcaster.
Also love my shimano spinning reel. Cant go wrong. Either way you are getting a top notch product. Shimano may have the advantage as far as warranty. |
I love my lews tournament pro and inshore. I hear the new cur ado is really good but until lews disappoints me like curado did, I'm sticking with lews

This reel casts further than my curado. Prob I had with both of my lews came when I was bass fishing and got a strike as soon as the bait hit the water. I set the hook at the same time as I "clicked" the spool from stopping and it misses gears before catching. Curado with upgraded boca bearings would be my choice. |
Im partial to shimano products, but all three are good reels. Now you need to get a rod from Jchief to put it on

With reds and specks it's fine but setting the hook through soft plastic for bass is a different hook set. Must have gave my reel a virus. |
i have a revo S that is about 4 years old, and a revo SX that is about 3 years old. Awesome reels in my book. I casted a Lews and it felt great. Can't go wrong with any of these, or a Shimano. I have never owned a "HIGH DOLLAR" reel, but all of these "mid grade" reels have done the job for me.
