Hey Waterfoul....

[sfw1960]

Have you looked at the "new" 2008 Gander LP Baitcasters yet???

:evilsmile


They have Pinnacle Inertia written all over them , with the exception of the Gander Logo......
:lol:
Check 'em out next time you're in there.
I bet you don't buy one of those!!!!

:D

[waterfoul]

Looked at em. Feel like nice reels. But right now I actually have 2 baitcasting reels with no rods to put them on!

There are two of them out this year, the one I know is made by Silstar...not sure about the other.

Anyone in the market for a great inexspensive baitcaster needs to check out the new Daiwa Megaforce 100 TSHL:

http://www.daiwa.com/images/MF100TSHL.jpg

Awesome reel for $59.99. Twitch'in bar, secondary magnetic drag, very smooth, and my favorite...7.1:1 gear ratio. First one with that under $180 that I know of. I played around with it as much as you can in the back yard and am very impressed. I don't see where the twitch'in bar will be a big deal but I know that high speed gear ratio is going to be the ticket...
They're going fast...there was four, I picked up two, they sold the other one and the display in like two days...not sure if any more have come in yet, but I'd like to get one or two more myself...

[thedude]

Dick's off of 28th and I-96 in GR had Quantum Escalades for 50% off and then some... 60$ i total (reg price was 129 i think). its a store model for dicks so i don't know if they are worth anything, but they had 7.1 burners in there.

[sfw1960]

Do they look anything like THIS???

Yep, minus the powerpro...I think the Daiwa I mentioned is a better for less money.

Actually the same price as the Daiwa (unless you buy 'em off eBay) and that's Stren Super Braid (2 seasons old) you're lookin' at there Mister....

Ya those escalades are nice reel's, good bearing count nice magnetic backlash and a Burner (7.1-1 Gears) reel most can afford, I have a KV1000(BPS model) and a AV870(almost identical) both very similar models both sweet reels, so I assume the Escalades would be also! It looks to be the same reel as a Quantum BURST(2008model)only draw back is it and the Escalade and the AV870 dont have metal frame's, they do have a metal front support, and honestly I cant tell the difference aside from the AV870 is a tad lighter!

[wolverines]

I was refering to the 10 bearing "guide series"...

[sfw1960]

Seems they were $59 also....
:D
Maybe they raised the price just for you!!
:lol:

The 10 bearing is $80 I think...the 7 is $60

:lol: Yah, a whole $0.01

[Southend517]

Bass MAster rated the next set-up from the megaforce and the best for the money reel on the market. The Diwa Exceler

[sfw1960]

The 10 bearing is $80 I think...the 7 is $60
Gander East in GR had them for $49 & $59 . not sure what store you went to...........

I am NOT really a fan of magnetic brakes.
:D
I passed on the idea of the Daiwa MF B/C the 7:1 retrieve doesn't give much torque - PLUS I wonder about the reliability of the twitchin' bar and the durability of the high gear ratio....(MORE to go wrong IMO)... the Exceler does look like a decent reel however.

While many reviews were favorable , longevity will tell!


BPS Reviews:
good reel for the money, but not great., February 18, 2008
By HowardHawgHunter from South carolina (read all my reviews)



"This reel has some positives but it also has some negatives. The twitchin bar is cool and works well once you get used to it and the reel casts really far. My main problem with the reel is the NOISE!! Even after cleaning it and lubricating it, it still makes alot of noise when reeling it. I've only had the reel a month or so and hope it will stand up to tournament fishing. The price was really good but I think Daiwa could have made it a little better."

Cheap..but handle is too weak..., February 8, 2008
By Mankiw from Los Angeles (read all my reviews)

"Handle is very weak. If you wind the reel few times, handle will be bent..."

[The Longshank]

wooo hooo

[wolverines]

Gander East in GR had them for $49 & $59 . not sure what store you went to...........






...the one I work at
The 10 bearing (Tournament) is $69.99, the other one is 49.99.
I was looking at them weeks ago before they were put out, must have looked at the price wrong...my deepest appologies.

[waterfoul]

I was just there and "played" with both reels. The 10 bearing one seems like a decent reel for the money. If I needed a baitcaster right now I might even buy one... nice thing about Gander... don't like it... bring it back.

[wally-eye]

Buy a Trion and you don't have to worry about taking it back.......:evil:

[waterfoul]

Who makes the Trion? Silstar or Pinnacle??

:D

[wally-eye]

Yep one of those off brand fly by night companies........:D

[sfw1960]

Looked at em. Feel like nice reels. But right now I actually have 2 baitcasting reels with no rods to put them on!
:evilsmile
I just told Brandon today I snapped up TWO nice light IM6 Daiwa Heartland HL 601MHRB (http://www.daiwa.com/Rod/detail.aspx?ID=89) rods... for $21.66 EA , Original sticker $49.99!
Should be GREAT JIg rods.

OF COURSE they were @^%$#$# sold out....

The Grdvl store had Daiwa Capricorn XTC100's (http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/pwr/product-reviews/Parametric-Root/Outdoors/Fishing/Reels/Freshwater/Daiwa/p/2643918-Daiwa-Capricorn-XTC-100.html) for $69 today.....
I was refering to the 10 bearing "guide series"...
Type more concise and we'll be less confused , just like your EMPTY profile... :D No biggie on OUR pricing errors , but if you keep it up , I'll have Duane cut your hours!!!
:lol:

I almost did , SORTA
Yep one of those off brand fly by night companies........:D
I was so damn close to pullin' the trigger last night , but I didn't.
:sad:
Takes a while to load , but look at how CHEAP this "Trion" went for (refurb)
I was droolin' pretty good , if it was the 4.7:1 model I woulda JUMPED and worried about how I'd pay for it later !!
LMAO!!!

Who makes the Trion? Silstar or Pinnacle??

:D


Wow, you really like that don't you...surprised you didn't end it with "LOL".
See, I thought I would be nice and confirm something for your friend...looked it up on the computer and it listed the supplier as Silstar so that's what I posted...so they make Pinnacle, whoopty-freak'en-do...I personaly wouldn't buy either. I've got an old GS baitcaster, first one they put out about 5 years ago or so, and I would bet money that it was made by Quantum...but the supplier wasn't listed as Zebco. It's hard to say for certain sometimes who makes each GS item, especially the rods...they don't tell us. You can only go by what the computer lists as the supplier...so I did that and at the same time get to be the butt of your little ongoing joke...so your welcome, enjoy:coolgleam

[wolverines]

It's called seniority my friend...I've got him by a few years...at least 4. I think I'll be o.k.:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Dude... step back. You were not the butt of any joke. SFW and I are friends and yes, it is an ongoing joke that maybe you don't get?? You seem to take things way to personal around this site... and this has happened on more than one occasion. Chill out. Relax. Have fun. A missing :D is no cause to "whoopty-freak'en-do" anyone.

Man do you, me, and everyone esle around here need soft water!!!! :dizzy:

[sfw1960]

Pinnacle is their own brand name .
(Quantum doesn't manufacture ANYTHING of their own BTW)

So ~yeah.......
RELAX!!
:chillin:
Mike & I are always going around on various things, I like Silstar reels and he has a few BPS branded Silstars he likes , but not anywhere as well as his precious Curados ( rightly so !!)

Shakespeare/Pfluger uses Silstar for many reels , so does Gander , Cabela's , BPS , Dicks , and a host of bazillions.
You can look up some of this information online if you're a savvy data hunter - or even care.....

I have noticed that sometimes the "typed word" loses some of it's meaning if not explained in great detail - and I have misunderstood some of wolverines' posts due to a lack of detail.
Not hammerin' on ya (any more than anybody else here!), but the more you type , the less one has to guess.

I couldn't agree more...I just do this to get away for awhile when I'm on a break at work. Doesn't leave me a lot of time to type out thoughts or ideas in great detail (I'm a slow typer too). I thought I was giving a lot of detail for what I was trying to say in the short amount of time I have...Good thing to know I guess....gotta get back too work:rant:

[waterfoul]

SFW, Looks like I'm heading down to my buddies house in Monroe next week for a couple days. We are going to target anything we can get to bite. Eyes in the Maumee... steelies and trout in a few Ohio rivers, and possibly even perch in the Detroit River!! I really need to feel the fight of a fish!!

So I'll be packing all sorts of gear... can never have enough gear... right?? :D
