Bo B asked:


Looking to land 4-6lb large mouth bass and 6-8lb catfish. I have a 6′6″ shimano compre rod. Which reel listed above is best when using live nightcrawlers, soft plastic worms and 5″ soft plastic frogs in open water for the above listed fish?

Payback Time asked:


This question is probably more of a poll on your opinion.
I am based in the Pacific Islands and we can get some sinister fish hook ups.
I use Shimano equipment for Landbased Game Fishing and Penn for My Offshore Sport Fishing.

Some people say just pick one or the other!

I’m quite fond of the Penn HT100 Drag System. I think it is vastly superior in stopping power and life to the Shimano.

What are your findings?

lefty lucky asked:


I was thinking of the Daiwa baitcasting combo thats priced at $60. It was given alot of good reviews on BassPro.com. If this really is a pretty good combo to buy, is there any place that sells it besides online at basspro.com? Any and all suggestions and recommendations on a baitcasting rod and reel in the price range please.

Christopher T asked:


Who make the best reels now a days? Shimano, Daiwa, Quantum, etc…..

manniman asked:


I need to buy some really high end reel to make myself happy.which rod should go with that.I have so many reels n rods but they just cant get broken cos I sort of a maintenance freak,everyday after fishing I will strip n clean the reel.So use to that its like 30minutes the most.which is better,high end but a bit decent/appropriate just more than usual.

dzahncy asked:


I want to fin out if the front cover off a cobalt 40 size reel will fit on either the us40xa or us40xc frame.

Fisher_King asked:


Did you ever get suckered into buying an “All-the-Bells-&-Whistles” off-brand reel and found out you shoulda just stuck with the Big 3,(Shimano, Daiwa, Penn)?

I’ve stupidly, (to save money) , paid for & got “burned” by Okuma, Cabelas, Basspro, & (drum-roll) Pinnacle! I got a reel from each of these company’s and it had an issue/issues either immed or right AFTER the warranty expired! (Arghhhh!)

Anybody else buy cheap fishing gear to save money and wish they had “gone with what they knew” to be good?
