Title: Smoke caster
Post by: Mossy on April 01, 2011, 10:29:06 AM

I have some sort of what some people call an addiction to baitcasters.  I usually pick up a new Abu every spring but these reviews look pretty dang good.  Price is a little up there though.  Anyone see these before?

Buy one and give a report!  I bet they are great, as with most Quantum PT baitcasters.

I'm not a huge fan of Quantums. Seems they're pretty proud of their stuff $$$. But the size of some of them is what turned me away from them. They're tiny... I like lightweight, but I've got big hands and these aren't comfortable.

But I am looking to try out some new lines. I'm just not sure that anything at the $200 and over level is really worth it. Some of these reels are getting ridiculous. I'm bidding on an Abu Revo SX-L. Liked the balance it had on a rod of mine, and my friend is sponsored by them and has nothing but great things to say.

Look forward to a review.

I have the revo, it's a great real but you might be disappointed, it's kind of small.
