Hi Salenity

OK, so what "box" do you keep plastics in? Do you take them out of the original bags?

3 year old thread you bumped up but I'll play. Lew's TPSS unless I need to throw something really light then it's a 50e With my PB tied to it

What's the benefit of it on sunglasses? Will I be able to see farther?

I thought the breaks were different?

I have the same one and I hope I don't have it dialed in yet because it doesn't show images nearly as well as the video of it on birds site. I've heard some of the 570di have problems showing depth at under 10'. I think mine may be one of them I had the ducer "clicking" and had to power it off & back on to get it to work again This thread has some info on it. http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/95298-dsi-for-small-boat/page__fromsearch__1

It's a great looking reel & I like the way the break is set up on it but I've heard they aren't smooth at all... To be honest I can't imagine it being any rougher than my Core 50.

Now that's funny!

I got this reel for $99 on Black Friday and am not sure what to do with it. Does anyone have one that would like to chime in on it? I've heard mixed reviews on it... Does it excel at throwing light baits or heavy baits ? Would it make a good pitching reel with 15-20# flouro on it? Or should I go with my gut and put it on the "Bay" and get a Diawa? BTW it's still NIB and is my first Quantum hence all the questions.

At least someone else tries to hide the price of there rods. I'd say deep down we know we spend WAY too much on our equipment. Did I just say that? Don't ban me!

Those fish looked like they were fed footballs!

I want to get a 7-11 Heavy but man thats long!

Once you get used to the Handel it's hard to put down.

Not that I need another Revo I already have 1 too many but who has the Premier for $190?

Crabs.

^^^^9999... can we get a 10000?

That looks GREAT! We had Gates BBQ.

It depends on how "good" you think you are with a baitcaster. I have had 50Es that had stock flushed barrings that casted GREAT with only 1 break set and 0 spool tension and almost no thumb until the end of the cast. On the other hand I have a 50 Core that I can set 4 breaks and a lot of spool tension on it and I can still backlash it like a champ! I am in no way saying not to get the upgrades I'm more or less just rambeling...

I see about 3 options, 1 go with a spinning reel 2 Try a Shimano 50e It does good with lighter baits but 1/8oz? 3 Fish bigger baits & catch bigger fish!

I started out with a Zebco 33 (well over 33 years ago) so wen I started using my dads spinning reel the handle was on the wrong side. I ended up getting a Mitchel 301 & a 308. So for me the handle was on the wrong side of the spinning reel.

That sucks, no weight savings in having reused all the parts... Try again!

WOW, I've never seen EVERYONE agree before! LOL

So what's up with your guy, still nothing?

I think like everyone else is saying that I'd stay away from a micro spinning rod if it has an abnormally small "stripper" guide.

Great stuff! The reel is very large for the rod though. Most of us would have gotten the 50 or the 200 instead of the 300.
