Is this a good reel? Good deal?

[Bryan Fary]

Was poking around BPS website and they had this reel on sale/clearance. I currently use the Bass Pro Qualifier in the standard size not the low profile reel. All of my reels are left hand retrieve. These reels are kindof heavy and I am in the process of converting over to the lighter low profile reels. Is this a good reel for a good price? Anybody have any other recommendations?

3.8:I is a little slow retrieve isn't it ?:unsure::unsure:

Good point Gross. Just checked my Quantum reels that I have and they are 5.1:1. 3.8:1 might be too slow? What other retreive speeds did they used to come in?

That retrieve ratio is too slow for me. 3.8:1 is too slow.

 

[Mark Gross]

I believe it was 6.3: 1 which is great. The new Curado d's come in 7.0:1 plus the 6 and maybe the 3.8 I heard the Browning was a good reel I might try that. good luck



Iuse the JLM'S as well I see there on sell and they have a left hand retrieve there bullet prove.

Go to the address at top of page click on the JLM reel picture. That's their top of the line reel one baitcast and one spinning with different speeds.

If you like the JLM's, you'll love the Brownings. Same reels (Midas BC) as the previous JLM's, just a different paint code. Good stuff!
