Finesse Baitcaster

[joeyd50]

What would you guys consider a good Finesse Baitcaster? I'm looking at this http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_90674?cm_mmc=froogle-_-100-1-1-_--1-_-38-350-460-00&hvarAID=46KY&mr:trackingCode=911BE1D8-EAB0-DD11-B7E2-001422107090&mr:referralID=NA and was wondering if anyone's used one.
Thanks
Joe

id stay away from bass pro brand stuff......not that its not good out of the box....but if you intend to fish alot with it you'll probably get about 3 seasons out of it max....
they are good designs with cheap parts and they tend not to hold up....even the $99 ones

my dad bought 4 rickey Clunn's and had nothing but good things to say the first season he used them......hes already had to replace 2 of them and the two that still work arent as smooth as they should be.....
hes a amature tounament angler....hesdoesnt beaton his stuff...but he uses the hell out of it....
if your a guy that is either hard on your stuff or uses your reels alot....get something better than a 99$ bass pro reel. if you just fish occasionally they will be oK. (99$ reels)
id also worry about the reliability especially in a 99$ bass pro real where everything has been made smaller.

i have a couple Revo SX they are awsome. the REVO s is $110(castwheightless sluggos/flukes fine with 14lb stren ... Abu makes great stuff....the round reels are bulletproof(in a unrefined(not for finesse)kind of way and have a big footprint)and the new low profiles are quality gear......if your hard on your gear you cant beat a round reel for durability and reliability.....

Shimano makes great stuff too.(calcutta ct100b...its little... i have two that are over a decade old...they arent like new anymore tho...but when i got them they where the best reel id ever fished with, the revo takes that spot now)

Shimano and Abu Garcia are the reels i recomend.....

you dont need a tiny reel to castlight lures.....you just need a good reel that will operate smoothly for a long time. if your gonna be casting tiney lures like3/16 oz total weight and smaller use a spinning reel or a good spin cast.(if its windy you can forget about casting little stuff with anything) nothing wrong with the old spincast(diawa goldcast)....just spend the money for a good one.
the right rod(length and action)makes all the difference too when your gonna be casting lightweight lures.

I been using spinning gear for little T/R French fry worms, little 4" worms, just figured I asked about a little baitcaster. There's one of these BPS reels on E-Bay for $24.00

for that price you cant really go wrong....buy me one too while your at it[8D]

spinncast and open face spin reels are the way to go for ultra light lures....i just am not used to them and always get line twist no matter what i do...ive tried all the tricks...line twist never lets me down[&o]
