new combo suggestion

Featured Replies

hey guys got another question.  I'm going to be buying a new bass fishing combo soon.  I'm going to be fishing weightless plastics and ultra light jigs(3/16oz-1/4oz).  I pretty much have the rod that I want picked out already, but now need a reel to match it.  I want a small profile reel that palms really good such as a chronarch 50MG reel.  By the way my budget that I want to spend is about $200 or more for the reel.  let me know your suggestions okay.  Thanks in advance.

alright but is there another reel that I should take a look at also.  The chronarch 50MG is great for pitching and flipping, but it feels very underpowered to me.  I would like to check out other reels as well.

Look at the Abu Revo Lineup, they are quite comfortable and they are workhorses! ;D

oh by the way I want a lightweight reel.  I was going to buy that revo STX earlier this year, but it's weight was what turned me away from it.  It looks amazing, but I'm looking for a lightweight reel as well.

Strippers maybe ;)

what do you use to fish for them?

dollar bills, i would guess ;)

Ha..I throw swimbaits with my Chronarch..I have the 101bpv though. I also use for flippin and pitchen, does a great job for both.. ;)

those one green reels.........what are they again? they work as well or better than any Revo reel out there.

(easy fellas, ive owned both for over a full season, and thats JMO)

Revo Premier? Or the Skeet Revo?

I don't like the 50mg unless it's for finesse fishing. 12lb line and under. I sold mine after only a few trips out with it.

yep I'm going to be using this reel for finesse fishing.  I might throw out weightless soft plastics and need a reel that can do this without the backlash.  I also want it to be comfortable when palming as well as being lightweight.

I use my mg50 for just those applications. Backlash free and nice distance. I have it paired with a cumara and is my favorite combo out of the the 11 that i have.
