  2. Rapala Model F18
  3. Try a Calais you wont use anything else
  4. KVD only!
  5. Congrats on your new rod!I got my first GLoomis a couple of weeks and it makes a huge difference than any other rod I have used b4.I feel every thing,it's powerful and nice and light!
  6. I just bought a symetre over the weekend and was very impressed for such an inexpensive reel!
  7. After owning the Calais for a few days brought back my BPs combos and went Shimano across the board, Calais with Gloomis rod ,Curado with St croix rod and Symetre Falcon rod!Thanks for corrupting me guys!LOL!!
  8. I hear guys on this forum ravinggggggggg about the zillion and the curado I just bought a Calais with a Gloomis rod and Iam very happy I might use that rod/reel for all my baits cant afford to buy 4 or 5 more combos like that....
  9. How ironic that I posted not having any probblems than today I opened up the brake system to change it and now it wont close!!!!!!LOL!Back to BPS it goes.........
  10. LOL!!!Yea pretty much!Just started backup bass fishing after a 4 yr break and Iam into deep again 5 rods,tackle box full of stuff and a 17ft Sea Nymph bass boat and looking for tournaments.....
  11. I got two of them and for the money they are great combos no problems with them!
  12. Thanks Roadwarrior!Its awesome!
  13. I just got myShimano Calais and Gloomis rod MBR782C frpm BPS took it to a local canal to test it out and its unbeliveable!Best rod and reel I ever used!Feels like I got a Rolls Royce of fishing reels!I feel everything and reel is sooooooooo comfortable and smooth and no worries of backlash and it was windy about 15mph and I was throwing directly in the wind only problems is I gotta get 4 more setups like this now!!!LOL!!!
  14. Thank you Reelmech I was just about to post that but it also has this from tackle tour "Performance A good general purpose reel though not quite suited for finesse application" By no means am I knocking Zillion!It's not what Iam looking for!Iam looking for a reel that can handle finesse baits thats y I went with the Calais....
  15. my mistake I read that the zillion didnt handle lighter baits good and thats what I mostly use so I decided against the zillion sorry about the confusion
  16. Btw iam going from a BPS $60 reel to a $400 Shimano I am sure its gonna be night and day.
  17. I read about problems with zillion gonna stick with Shimano
  18. Agrees! Shimano is hard to beat!
  19. Thanks for replies!Gonna go with Calais, zillion seems more of a burner which i dont need for worm fishing and the Gloomis rod MBR782C Iam partial to 6'6 rods that are med i use very light weight on worms.Did alot of reasearch on all 3 reels Calais 100A seem like it will fit my needs,read about some probs with chronarch and zillion is a burner..Thanks again will post review!
  20. Thanks for reply I think Iam gonna go with Shimano Calais 100A and a G.loomis MBR782C this is gonna be my worm rod.
  21. Looking to buy a reel, narrowed it down to Zillion or Chronarch with a GLoomis rod.What do you guys think is the better reel?Thanks ahead of time!
  22. BigAL posted a topic in Everything Else
