I have always thought that if I ever did buy a reel besides a Shimano, it would be a Daiwa and the new Alphas is very sweet and affordable.

I am always wanting something. It never ends! LOL I also have a Brenious on my mind and I would need to investigate this reel a little more as it would be the first non Shimano baitcaster that I have ever bought.

They have lefties in stock but no righties.I just saw that Digitaka says "A few quantity ask in advance". Are the Revos a quality reel?

So where is the Revo LT made? I haven't found any righties for the price you quoted (did not check Rakuten) but found them for around $200.00. It's a great looking reel. Is it comparable in size to a 50 size Shimano or bigger? I have been casting the 1/8oz Rapala Husky Jerk with a Conquest 50 with an Avail Spool/Loomis CR721 and I have been very pleased with the distance that I was getting. At least 60ft. With the right rod, I know that it will do even better. For a Shimano 50, Curado, Scorpion, Core etc, I think that you will have problems throwing the little Husky Jerk with the factory spool. Having the proper rod would help but the heavier spool would work against you.

Me too!

I posted that pic of the gator in your Toho Thread cause I thought that you were a Yankee coming coming to visit from Pennsylvania or New York but I see that you already know about gators living in S. Florida. LOL

I wonder if more people shop around for the best prices like we do or if there are still a lot of people that stroll into DSG etc and pay full price. My guess is the a lot of people are just going to but the Citica and not know any better.

I think that you will probably be safe with wake boarding but I would not just jump in and go swimming. Here is a pic of a little 10 footer that I took the other day while fishing.

I just did a search to find out what this reel looks like. To see if it looks anything like the Ardent Denny Brauer Fliipin Reel. Thank God it doesn't look like the flipping reel. I can't say what I think it looks like because this is a family oreintated fishing site.To answer your question.No, I have not tried it but if I wanted to blow a small amount on a reel and just take my chances, I would try to find a good deal on a Shimano Caius.

You said other recommendations so I would go to eBay and have a little patience and buy 3 or 4 new Curado's for under $130.00 apiece.

Nice reel Mike!

Have you checked out Hedgehog Studios? If you use an IPhone, you may have to click on 'PC Site' to see the dress up parts for Lews.

Bantam 1 recommends doing it this way.

I called Shimano and the guy that I talked to did not have a clue. This is a great question for Bantam 1 IMHO.

The same lures that you would use for bass and also cutbait. The last Mudfish that I caught was on a Bass colored Zara Spook.

Fuji makes a great Hook Keeper

I paid $264.99 apiece for both of mine from Fisherman Samurai on eBay. I know that I could have bought it cheaper but I took into account the sellers rating and how many negatives in a one month period and also shipping time and method. I ordered my first last Friday I think and it got here this morning and then I ordered another. Needless to say, I am one happy dude right now.

Green Pumpkin Trick Worm

Lizardfish have a reputation for attacking lures much larger than themselves and their little size doesn't match their bad attitude.

Get the old one now and the new one later. I have not used the new Ald yet but I just took delivery of an old model this morning and I am glad that I did. My only regret is that I waited so long to get one. I like it so much that I bought another one this morning.

I would rather have the Cold War back than what we are dealing with now. At least the Soviets understood what mutual destruction meant. The Islamofacists are suicidal and couldn't care less how many die in their quest for an Islamofacists world.
