The Sheriff will be along, pronto :)

Shimano

I checked Pflueger, WHAT ELSE :) However i have to be honest I am enjoying my BPS Reels just as much as my Pfluegers 8-)

From my signature line you can see what my favorites are, but I voted Shimano®

Tight Lines All!!  

I voted Shimano  because Daiwa was not a choice. My favorites actually are Daiwa for baitcasting and Shimano for spinning.

Well, you probably need Daiwa in the poll and maybe "Other" just so everyone who wants to participate can vote for their favorite.

I'm still trying to decide. ::)

Daiwa spinning and pinnacle baitcasting. thats for bass, as for muskie I have a penn spinning reel and for trout I have a Zebco closed face reel. I have 2 Daiwas and they are my favorite because my dad gave them too me.

Shimano all the way. Abu would be my next choice. I fish nothing but Calcutta's (just because it's what I like). Mostly 100's but I do have a 50 on a little 5'11" M rod that I built a while back. It's my travel rod. It's really personal preference. I like strong, small, round reels. Calcutta fits the bill and they have a very smooth drag system.

"Polls" don't seem to be very popular around here anymore. 10,274 members, 19 votes...

Well, 9 votes for Shimano vs. 8 for the field. My vote is included.  8-)

I was just kidding of course, but you make a good point, that never occured to me (0.18% turnout)

Hey spin as several people seem torn between 2 or 1 for spin and another for BC you can set up the choices to be more than one.

Shimano®  :)

There are manufacturers other than Shimano?  :)

Well, I see the Shimano posse is out in full force ;D

I, on the other hand, enjoy an inexpensive, high quality, high performance reel much like the PFLUEGER Trion :)

To each their own, I guess...

  • Super User

Shimano's are expensive?    :-?

Well, here goes - Quantum - that's what I got and serves me well.  Rapidly becoming a fan of Pflueger as well.  

Hope to get a Shimano one day just to see for myself.  Know its got to be good stuff.
