I currently own a GLoomis SJR720 IMX with TwinPower 1000 (6 lb. mono)
for light spinning, a GL CR721 IMX with Scorpion 1000 (10 lb. mono) for light baitcasting, and am considering a third rig for a little heavier duty (14 lb. +). I'm thinking a GL MBR783 IMX, but am not sure about what reel. The new Scorpion Quickfire looks good...I love my Scorpion 1000, and would like to have more line capacity on the new reel. I also like to palm my baitcasters, so a low profile is a given. I can't say money is no object (my wife won't let me ;-) but I'm willing to spend as much for the reel as I do for the rod (under $250). It's probably obvious I'm partial to reels made by Shimano for the Japanese market, but that's because I haven't been disappointed so far and haven't tried any Daiwas yet (aside from dry firing a few at BPS ;-). Any recommendations? Thanks, mhood -- Marc C. Hood Born an American. Native Texan by the grace of God. |

Any
recommendations? Keep it simple and all the same, stick with the Shimano and Loomis combos. My next reel will be a Japan Scorpion. Christmas is getting close.

Hands down. Anything else I would recommend that is built to this standard of quality (or better) would cost you another $20 and would not be brackish water friendly. That is the Shimano Metanium MG (Japanese model). Well worth the extra $20 of "honey do's" if you asked me. -- Harry J. aka Thundercat Bass fishing is NOT a hobby... It is an ADDICTION!
