Baitcasting Reviews
The Abu Garcia Ambassadeur baitcasting reels are part of a large catalog of reels that are generally used for high end fishing, such as Tuna, Marlin Halibut and Shark fishing.
The Abu Garcia Revo STX is the latest model in a timeline filled with innovative features and strong reels for the entire Revo collection of reels. The range is so strong that it is often seeing people convert from other reel manufacturers.
The Daiwa Luna baitcasting reel stands out amongst the crowd with its look-at-me gold design and when you hold it feels exactly as you would picture it - slick and smooth.
The Daiwa Zillion baitcasting reels offer amazing performance and with with a gear ratio of up to 7:1:1 also include the fastest baitcasting reel around (look out the the Zillion 50th anniversary special edition).
Omoto fishing reels are not as well known as some other makes so tend to get overlooked but if you are on a tight budget they make excellent reels that are good value for money, and the Jungle range is no exception to this.
Penn International Baitcasting reels
Penn international baitcasing reels are solidly built and yet the entire range is incredibly lightweight and what makes it even better is that it is designed with big fish in mind.
The Pflueger Asaro reels stand out straight away due to their shape and at first look a little odd. However, that should detract from what is otherwise a fine baitcaster. Although it might not look it at first glance it is a solid reel that is silky smooth, thanks to the one piece alluminium frame and sideplate.
The Pflueger President baitcast reel has a bit of a cult following and it is easy to understand why. Unbelievably smooth and almost no backlash go a long way to giving anyone a pleasant experience of using this baitcaster.
The Shimano Calcutta baitcasting reels are firmly cemented as one of the favourites amongst serious baitcasters. The original calcutta is a solid reel that performs well in every aspect, while the shimano calcutta TE and theTE DCversions take it to the next level.
The Shimano Cruxis reel is another baitcaster released at an entry level by Shimano and considering the price it is available for, is hard to mark it down in any area. In fact, this trusty reel will certainly give some of the higher end reels a bit of competition.
The Shimano Corvalus baitcasting reel is a modestly priced reel that doesnt compramise on features. It is a good performer and if you are on a budget would be an excellent purchase.
