At age 21, Johnny fell in love with the emerging sport of bass fishing and spent five years on the professional circuit. After noticing growing interest in the sport, Johnny started Bass Pro Shops with eight square feet of space in the back of his father's liquor store in Springfield, Missouri, the company's sole location for the first 13 years of business. Johnny's passion for the outdoors and his feel for the products and shopping experiences desired by outdoor enthusiasts helped transform the industry. BassPro

Did some research and found the box and owners manual the reel came in. It's a Pinnacle. The reel above is the new Daiwa Prodigy in 2007 for 99.99. Egg on my face... I still have the Prodigy reel and use it. Never had a problem with it -- never. Just take it to the reel man to clean every year. 7.5 oz. small reel and very light for its time. 25 IPT, 6:2 and great magnetic brakes. I'm a fan of magnetic brakes. The reel has a centrifugal/magnetic brakes system using the dial on the sideplate. Bought it for 69.99 normally 99.99 2006. good fishing...

not a big deal...but daiwa made mine... good fishing...

don't believe so....silstar was replaced with daiwa after having many problems... good fishing...

the best bc I've ever used was the old Cabela's Prodigy flagship reel made by Daiwa with magnetic brakes...sweet reel...smooth with easy casting...ahead of its time...
