ok right now i have a Quantum Accurist on a Ugly Stik 6' Med action, love it. i also have a Pflueger Trion GX7 open-face reel. i want to have a seperate BC for crankbaits, topwater, etc, then have my Buzz/Spinning Baits on my GX7 open-face, and then a worm on the other BC. now, i love the Abu Ambassadeur, but im thinking of getting another Quantum Accurist because i love how it works, and it would be better just switching from the same exact setups, that way you don't get too used to one setup. what do you guys reccomend?

I like KVD's advice on this.  He suggests building your rod/reel arsenal from one manufacture and from the same model line (ie buy all quantum tour edition rods with accurist reels or all fenwick HMG rods with shimano curado reels, etc) to the greatest extent possible.  His reason is that you'll be more accurate in your presentations and casting if all your rigs have the same feel, not to mention how it will help you detect subtle bites due to the familiarity.

It makes sense but then again you'll find that you may like the spinning rods from one line of rods or manufacture and you'll like baitcasters from another.  Or you'll like one company's crankin' rods but not their flippin/pithchin rods.

Unfortunately I can't afford to own 12 different Diawa Steez series rigs like a sponsored bass pro ;D  So I fish a minagerie of much less expensive rods and reels.

The Accurist is a good reel for the price.  I prefer baitcasters for most of my bass fishing chores so I'd go fore the additional baitcaster over another spinning outfit in you position.  (Unless you are fishing a lot of ultra clear water).
