What Type of Baitcasters Are You Using Now

Postby Wahoo61 » Tue Aug 25, 2015 12:01 pm

You seem to be using the same baitcaster reels for fresh and inshore fishing. I saw one of the shows where you said you were trying out reels, but then in the shows since it is the same brand of reel or so it appears. I just can't determine brand. Thanks as always. Love the show!!!

Hmmmm, wonder if it is the Okuma Komodo?
I think my bucket list has a hole in the bottom!

I've been sampling a number of different baitcasters at different price points, mfgrs, etc. in an effort to define the "best value" and bang for the buck in reels designed for casting large lures to fairly large fish in both fresh and salt water.
The Komoda 350 has been excellent, as has the quantum Iron 300 size. Komodo has a clicker, Iron does not. Iron casts better, but no clicker, so for live baiting it's not too hot.
Have not had a chance to try the new Revo series, but have heard good things.
