Im looking to get a new baitcaster just wondering if anyone had used the  Daiwa advantage or  Daiwa rojo and if there any good. thanks

i've thrown my friends Team Daiwa Advantage HST which is the step above the advantage and is one heck of a reel but at the range of the procaster rojo from what i've seen it is just a Red Procaster which in that case i would go with the quantum accurist AC500CX, Pfluegar Purist, or Shimano Cruxis, Actually the REVO S is a great reel at only 99.99 hope this helps

I had the daiwa advantage and loved it! It is a good reel for the money. You can get them at ebay, I see them all the time there.

And what's wrong with it beeing just a "red procaster" IMHO the procaster is better than the Pflueger Purist or the Shimano Cruixs, and about even with the Accurist, I have a 3 year old procaster 100HL and CAN NOT find one flaw with it. Yeah the $49 graphite frame procasters are not on par, but the 100HL sure is. AND FYI the RoJo is more than just a red procaster, it also has 2 more bearings, a ported spool, and a flipping switch, yes it's built on the same frame as the 100H.

Oh lord another angry fisherman that beleives i was badmouthing a product that he has used sucessfully for years, I wasn't knocking the reel I was just stating a few alternatives not meaning to offend anyone YET AGAIN IMHO the AC500PT, Cruxis, and Purist or even Trion feel Smoother. Yet again this is from experience of selling the reels. Now before blatently stating that the procaster is better have you felt or used or had any experience with the other reels. Speaking of which i have an over 20 year old Lew Childre Speed Spool BB-1n with no problems reels are meant to last and with good care I hope any reel lasts several years. And why do you only have one Procaster if they are such a great reel.

bassmaster6,

Daiwa® makes good reels in their whole lineup, it should be personal preference, and what you can afford. If you can find them at a tackle shop do a hands on comparison.

IMPO the Advantage has been proven, the Rojo is to new for anyone here to compare fairly..

Just my .02¢

Tight Lines!!!

Be careful he's an expert he works for Gander mountain ;D

Thanks Muddy sorry bout that disagreement before  :-/

Now before blatently stating that the procaster is better have you felt or used or had any experience with the other reels.. And why do you only have one Procaster if they are such a great reel.

Yes.........I own a Trion, an Accurist AC501CX, and Abu 5501 C3, 2  BPS Extremes, and 4 Daiwa's ( one Procaster 100HL, one Capricorn 100HL, one Capricorn 100XTCL, and one of the cheap Procaster  Tournament 100BiL), the Capricorns are built on the same frame as the procaster but have differant paint schemes, a few more bearings, and the XTCL has a ported spool, and are only sold at Dicks.

I have yet to fish the Accurist or the Trion, as they are new this winter. But I find nothing special about them that makes them better or worse than the Procaster.

Just last week you said the Trion was junk, now you claim they are better than the procaster, I think Muddys right..........

As far as owning only 1 procaster...........so what ? I like it, and would buy more, I buy other reels to try out to see what is best, and at this price range I can do that, who knows after the season starts maybe I will like the trion better, or the accurist and thats all I will buy from now on, but for now I still think the procaster is the best of the bunch I have.

I have an Advantage Super Tuned. It is a really nice reel.

sorry i offeneded you keep your panties on and calm down i didnt want to start a heated debate ok point taken you have many different reels, this like working at gander mounain certainly makes you an expert on the topic so lets just agree to disagree and move on instead of argue and get nowhere.

muddy,

Oh Ok..

Sure can tell when it is almost spring.. 8-)

bassmaster6,

Good luck in your search...

Psssst go with the Advantage.....

Tight Lines All!!  

If you are leaning toward the advantage check out Cabelas Prodigy reels.  They are rebranded advantages with a couple more bearings.  A step between the regular advantage and the super tuned.

Naturally, you do have to buy them from Cabelas.  But at the $100 price point they can't be beat.  

Oh boy, cabin fever is taking it 's toll.  :
