Best deep diving crankbait reel in your opinion?

Featured Replies

Raul hit the nail on the head. If your left handed it's the 201 B-5 or the 201B3.8

Tranx 300

 

I have a Daiwa ss sv... Its. 5.3:1 but the thing has an aluminum main gear and only 8lbs of drag.  It weighs 5.4oz... Will it be alright to crank up to an 8xd on it? 

I've still got a Quantum 1310CP with 3.8:1 gears, Quantum EX300P with 4.4:1, and Lew's BB-1NG with 4.3:1.  They're old warhorses, but any of the 3 will drag the biggest, deepest cranks all day long without a problem!

I used the OG Alphas for all my cranking sticks for years, without issue.  8# of drag is plenty, but you'll improve smoothness by upgrading to a Carbontex drag from Smooth Drags.
