Well I was looking at baitcasters today, and almost purchased a REVO SX. I found a killer deal on it, plus Abu is throwing in $20 refund on any reel $109.99 and above. So its really $20 off of the deal that I found. I figured before I jumped to any conclusions I give it a day to think on it. Any one have any experience with this particular model? I know it was suggested above... I looked up all the specs, and a ton of reviews and they all seemed pretty positive, I only found one 3/5 star review and he was an avid tourney user, so I figure he is used to using reels $200+ and only had a minor issue, one of his bearings went out after 2yrs of using it, which is probably normal I would guess if it is getting beat every weekend. As far as subconsciously not wanting to work with open faces, your probably right, but what cha gonna do? P.S. I have a Gander Mountain Classic 7 Bearing system, paid $50 on a competitor rod ($20) as my current set up, and it works awesome for heavy baits, or a drop shot system. I can do some light stuff with it if I use a drop shot, otherwise I am making some good bird nest habitat. For anyone reading this looking for a good cheap setup that would be the way to go. I am planning on keeping this rod as an extra, I am limited right now. I only have this set up and 2 open faces, a mitchell and a cheap walmart $20 special. The mitchell is okay, but the walmart is a piece by anyones standards.

Hi everyone, I wanted some of your advice. My Step brother is an avid fisherman and for his birthday I wanted to get him something related to fishing because he loves it so much. The problem is he has everything! Whats something I could get him that most fisherman wouldnt think about getting? I am talking outside of rods, reels, boat electronics, lures and tackle? And hey, the economy sucks right now (and where we live MI is 50th of 50th) so try to keep it cheap(er) Thanks! ;D

Hmmm. Well I wish you guys were with me to show me then. I would prefer to know what baitcasters can throw light tackle? Thanks to everyone who has replied.

Okay, first off. The problem I am having with the open faces, is just plain casting. I get like 5ft from the boat, and I promise I am not exaggarating. Plus I dont like it, plain and simple. I know how to use them, I just would prefer not to. Thanks to the guy above with the dawia, but does anyone else know any other reels that would do the trick, if money wasnt an object. Oh and when I say light, I mean ultra light, worm and hook kind of light. Thanks!

Hi all, I have a question for you. I love my baitcaster, it is for sure my reel of choice. Its nothing special, just a gandermountain guide series rod and reel, 7 bearings. Like all baitcasters, its hard to cast light baits, but I have a hell of a time casting openfaces. I just am bad at it, and I have been fishing on them since I was 10 up until recently when I went to the baitcaster. Yet, I dont want to go to a push button spincast either. My question is are there any baitcasters out there that can cast ultra light tackle? Thanks! :

New to the boards. Been fishing all my life, just been serious this past year. Hopefully this will be a good resource.
