Anti-Backlash reels


Recommended Posts

Has anybody tried the Abu Garcia anti-backlash reels, what did you think?I would like to use more baitcasting equipment but have limited knowledge on the subject. Any sugestions on some decent reels in the middle price range. ($60 to $120). Any input would be much appreciated!

I am certainly not an expert on bait casters, but I can tell you this. You will want to get one that best fits the type of fishing you want to do with it. I only have one and I use it only for jigging or trolling walleye. The reason I use it for this is because it is easier on my wrist. As for casting, I find it very hard to cast accurately or long distances. I have an abu garcia but I am not sure of the model number. Basically, what I am trying to say, is if you are going to get one that you want to be able to cast very accurately with or long distances you will want to pay the extra money and get a good one. The one I have was only $60 and it does just fine for what I use it for, mainly jigging. You should post this question in the equipment forum, you will propably get all the answers you are looking for there.ScottS

      Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology.  Battery powdered items will always have their place.  I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!!  That would be a bit loud and smokey!

      That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty.  Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.   As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows,  you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.

      I think electric items have their places, I just don't think large commercial jobs are going to be able to work well with them. Can't see a logging crew out in the woods all day changing batteries!
