Hey Fellas Road Warrior deputized me by giving me a Shimano Stradic 1000 spinning reel WHICH REALLY BLEW ME AWAY!!!!!! So I mooked a member of the posse and gave hime A Pflueger President #35 So we are all now in the same league  with 2 different divisions now :

What's the over/under on Muddy buying up all things Shimano in the Flea Market over the next three months?   ;D

Actually Im thinkin of a Rick Clunn 5.3 to 1 gear ratio Bass pro Reel

YIKES......a new posse member.........next thing you know we'll have a new Yankee fan

Nah, get a Citica 200DPV or Curado 200DPV.  Embrace the light!!!!

$80 for the Clunn, $120 for the Citica.

$80 for the Clunn, $120 for the Citica.

My only gripe with Shimano is they don't offer a 100 size lower gear ratio reel in the Citica or Curado line.  After switching all my other reels to 100 size  my CU-200B5 I have left for cranking feels like a tank.  I might be forced to go with a Daiwa Advantage .  What is the world coming too. ;D

That is a good deal KS.  I've been thinking about upgrading my cranking reel and that price certainly fits the bill.  

I lay odd by the end of summer he will be a full fledge menber of the posse.  He will be throwing rocks at brand X.

Dang, RW hooked you up.  Not only with a Shamano but one of the best ones.  That is awsome.

Hey bud what Im finding out is there arer a lot of good reels out there I have 2 BPS reels and they are just fine. I have an adress to send them to for cleaning etc once the season is over .

That is very true Mud.

To become a member of the Shimano Posse only requires one reel. We have a "big tent" and everyone is welcome... even if you sometimes fish the "wrong" brand!

:

There are no wrong reels only the ones I cant afford HAHAHAHA ;D

After all of the the arguing about reel brands you finally pick up a Shimano congrats Muddy

There are no wrong reels only the ones I cant afford HAHAHAHA ;D

ahaha, ain't that the truth, muddy. As a full time college student, I feel lucky to have my Pflueger Medalist. It is really my ONLY setup I have that is of any quality. You guys are all talking about wanting new rods and reels and whatnot but for people like me, I'd like to be able to get just a second quality rig, not a 5th or 6th!!!!   :'(

Ya you right! This is my only hobby and I have been blessed to get some mid priced suff now mind you I have 2 BPS reels One Cabelas One Pflueger and the Reel RW gave me.a Shimano

Muddy, dont be a victim of the brainwashing that goes on inside the posse......fight thru it man, there's just alot of hype around certain brands.

Congrats, Muddy, that's a fine reel. RW, that was a very generous gesture. Enjoy it.

i BUY ONLY WHAT I CAN AFFORD. iF A DEAL COMES UP IN THE FLEA MARKET FOR SOMETHING USED THEN I GO FOR IT. i HAVE A bps EXTREME rOD AND REEL THAT IS MORE THAN ENOUGH AND WORKS JUST FINE. iT WOULD BE SILLY TO SAY ITS AS GOOD AS A 500 REEL AND A lOOMIS rOD BUT iM HAPPY WITH IT!
