Promax,

Welcome to the forum. I have fished a few Garcias and have a couple now, but to answer your question, I fish mostly with Shimanos. You'll get a lot of diverse answers, there are a bunch of good fishermen here. ENJOY!

Welcome aboard!

I have an assortment of brands, most of my reels see double duty, fresh and inshore saltwater. I have two Shimano's, a Pflueger that my wife uses, 1 Quantum Kinetic 40, a Penn 450 ssq that I pciked up, it is one of the last ones made in the USA. The newer ones are being made in China. And one Ambassaduer 4600 C3. Even though I like my Shimano's I not so loyal that I will not try another brand.

I've used Shimano since I was a kid and this winter I started to purchase the Quantum Energy's.

My vote was for both the Shimano and Quantum.

Welcome to the best fishing site on the net.

I've been an Abu Garcia fan for well over twenty years. I have quite a collection.

Welcome aboard!

We have members who fish all reel brands, Abu Garcia is the favorite of many. I think you will enjoy the Forum and hope that you will contribute your thoughts whenever possible. Good luck!

Welcome to the forum!!!!

Tight Lines!!!

I voted Daiwa since that's all I've used for the last 15 years. I am picking up a Quantum Energy soon, time to step up into the $100+ bracket.

I voted Shimano and quantum. Abu has the Revo series LP baitcasters on the market now, which I intend to try, along with Diawa reels(which I have never owned).

I'm new to this board and have not fished for bass in the last ten years.  :-[  When I moved up to north Florida I switched over to fishing the flats in the Gulf for Reds.   I am now getting back into bass so I've come to my sense's. 8-)

I used to use Shimano's and Ambassadeurs but I just bought a  Pflueger Trion and used it on Crooked Lake last week and it did a great job.  It felt so good I just ordered 2 more.   I guess I should say all of my bass gear is 1992 models and older.   :-[

I voted Abu because that's what I started off with and have used for the last 30 years,but in the last 5 years I've added Quantums to the arsenal and love 'em.
