Just so happens, I have both rods. I would take the Ducketts hands down. Actually I wish I had never bought the Mojos. Don't get me wrong, they are an excellent rod. They are just a whole lot heavier than the Ducketts. That lightness has spoiled me. I don't like to criticize one product over another, since they are all great, so it just comes to personal choice. I work at BPS, so I am handling these rods all day long, and to me , it seems there is none lighter in the store. I suggest, take your reel with you, and mount it on both rods, then you will see and you can make a more informed choice. I will also say, we do sell more Mojos than Ducketts, but that could be because of the $50.00 price difference. Anyway, good luck with your choice. GOOD FISHING!!! Hootie

I am one of the Cincinnati BPS guys, and I think they are great. I know for sure a couple of the guys in the fishing dept. have bought them already, including myself.

I think it's great to be enthusiastic about what you like! I know I am.

I take it, you prefer the Citica?

Anyone else for some Shimano lemmingade?

Love it!! You guys are just too witty!!

I used it all last year. A great line in my opinion. My local BPS store discontinued it last summer. I emailed Vicious to request a catalog and a list of stores in my area that carry it. They not only sent me a catalog, but also a hat, 2 bulk spools of the very 2 that I use, 14# green and 8# green. Also several Vicious decals. Gotta love freebies! Hootie

Yeah, how did he do that??

I already see people giving negative reviews on this reel before it even hits the stores. Makes me know that a lot of opinions are based on pure stupidity.

Some really good responses. Thanks guys. This is is the reason I practically live on this site. Hootie

I understand what you are saying, but I have noticed suggestions way out of the price range of what the question listed. Don't you think we should offer same priced options. After all, his selections may have been budget based. Hootie

I have noticed on this, and other forums, a person can post a question about choosing reel A, or reel B. Now that is a specific question. The way I see it, he has already made up his mind to this point. So, why do people start suggesting reel C, D, X, and Z, and so on? He wants your opinion on A, or B. That's all. Just answer the question. Just my thoughts. Hootie

30 TONS!!! Doesn't sound very light to me!!

These are some of my oldies.

Just curious, does anybody here still use round reels for bass fishing?

Have 2 Ducketts, they are great!!

Got 2 new Lew's Tournament Speed Spool Casting Reels coming Thursday. C'MON THURSDAY!!!

Holding out for 2 of the new carbonlite reels.

Ordered mine about 10 days ago. Supposed to take 7-10 days, so mine should be here anytime.

Just finished reading an article in the Jan. issue of Bassmaster by KVD about swapping the hooks out on new crankbaits. If the hooks are no good, then why don’t they put the good hooks on in the first place? I don’t mind paying an extra dollar for the bait. Actually that’s about what it costs to buy the better hooks anyhow. Just wondering. Hootie

With me, it's both. I love bass fishing and I am a tackle addict Have more gear than any one person needs. That's okay, I love this stuff. But you are right, we have guys who really know their stuff, but because of family obligations don't get to fish nearly as much as I do. I am retired, working at BPS 2 days a week to feed that addiction. Seriously, I am really blessed and I know it. Hootie

I work at my local BPS in the fishing department, and while I can't speak for other stores, the guys in our fishing department are very knowledgeable about all aspects of fishing. We were on top of this reel before it ever hit the website. We have had several calls about the reel and as far as I know they should be hitting the stores around the first of the year.

Agreed!! I have already had my local BPS put two on hold for me and to call me as soon as the arrive.

Why are there so many negative opinions on a reel nobody has even seen yet?
