mine only goes back maybe one fourth of an inch, but I noticed what you meant about the clicking. very annoying. For a 100 dollars your much better off with a symetre or a supreme, but for 80 dollars, its a nice looking reel, im pretty impressed with the quality of the reel.

i didn't know that, im gonna go check that out. what size do you fish with?

just got one in 2000. its pretty big for a 2000. but Im lovin it so far, going fishin today for some trout, cuz a local pond just got stocked yesterday with 3000 trout. good way to try out the new reel.

i like flipping everything light. On one of my rigs I have spooled 20# fireline tracer braid and the other the same execpt 40#. I'll usually start of with the 20# and if it has really thick vegetation or has alot more snags, Ill switch to 40. I have a flouro leader on both of them.

i use suffix siege and its the best ive used. strens not bad either

the same thing happened to me yesterday. my rod was originally 6'6" now its 5' 9". one of my favs. warrenty expired.shimano crucial.

you could get a pretty nice set up for a 100 dollars. st. croix triumph and diawa capricorn(dick's version of the exceler) great deal!

both crucial and the avid, are really good rods. my 7' m crucial is slightly lighter than my 7' avid. but if i had to pick one it would def. be the avid. you could get a pretty nice setup at dicks for 100. triumph + diawa capricorn(dicks version of the exceler) got a couple the other day. great rod and reel for the money, considering the reel costs 90 dollars alone.

i love the sufix seige, but never tried the elite. what are the key differences between the two and which do u like better. From all the monos i've used. I like sufix and stren. stren tends to be more strechy.

suffix and power pros are both good braid. But berkley really stepped it up with the new fireline braid. unlike the original fireline thrash. its round and very smooth. it wont dig in your spool as other braid would do. I got it in tracer color, really easy to keep track of where my line is, I just put a flourocarbon leader for visibility issues. michael

what a shame.....

I need opnions on which one to get. thanks in advance

I've done alot of research and decided on getting one of these two reels. Either a Chronach D(aluminum version of the core) or a Diawa Alpha Ito. which one would you pick? and why. thanks in advance

Are this basically the same reels. I'm planning on getting one for finesse fishing and was wondering the difference between the two and also the difference between Alphas 103, 103 F and ITO. thanks in advance

revo s alll the way!

I didn't know that there were bass that big! Looks like I'm going bass fishing, this summer when I come to visit my relatives.

I'm thinking about getting a 7' MH, XMLTi Muski rod and going to use it for bass fishing. It's on sale for $80.

whats the warranty on Cabelas rods? because I know Bps's are one year but not sure about cabelas. I'm choosing a private label Because I wanted to try out the recoil guides and going with either the XMLTi or the Johnny Morris elite is the cheapest way. other rods with recoil guides, such as St Croix Extreme and Kistlers are all in the $350 range also because they go on big sales where you can buy them cheap.

I'm looking to get a couple rods for this year, and decided to get one of BPS's or Cabela's high end rods with the recoil guides. and I was wondering if any of you tryed this rods out and how they felt. I want to make the right choice, considering they only have 1 year warranty on them.

I'm new to cleaning my own reels and I was wondering if someone could give me a heads up on what to do. like what you do with the reel oil, the grease and the lube. anything helps, thanks in advance

what could be a good substitute, that could be laying in my garage somewhere?

citicas a very good reel so is the new pro qualifier from trying it out at BPS and from what I heard. and also it won the field and streams best value award. and the 08 quantum energy pt, normally $189 can be bought for $100 at d*ick's sporting goods

I'm about to clean my reels and reoil them, but can't find my reel oil. I keep looking around and I can't find it anywhere and I see a can of WD-40 on a shelf. So my question is, would it be bad to reoil it with WD-40? Its not going to be one of my high end reels. just my revo s.

thanks everyone for sharing. This turned out better than I expected.

thats a sweet looking rod. how much was that. and does otterrods have a site?
