Since I have several fishing spots around my home in Columbus and I don't
want to pay for $3 a gal. gas I am going to take up fishing. I last hooked

a
fish in 1968.
I have read and read and the only reel I can't find any info on it the

Guide
GearŪ 11-Ball Bearing Baitcaster which is on sale for $69 down from $150.

I
am willing to go $130 or so. The Shimano Curado, QUANTUM ENERGY PT E600PT
are strong contenders. If the Guide Gear is a sound reel I could use the
savings for a better rod.
Thanks in advance


Might I make a suggestion? COnsidering you havent hooked a fish since 1968
do you really want to start out with a Baitcaster? Just about anything by
Quantum or AG are good reels but considering the amount of practice it takes
to master Baitcasting Reels (it took me years to be able to master my AG to
the point of perfect accuracy, then I still wouldnt call it perfect) when
you would probably gain much more enjoyment and faster results with a
spinner. Then again, you didnt mention at what level you left fishing i.e.
novice to expert.
