Of the following reels the Prodigy is what I am interested in the most.

Shimano Stradic
Daiwa Capricorn
Cabela's Prodigy

Anyone own one?
Opinions?

Of the reels listed above, I own a Shimano Stradic 2500 mg. The reel is very lightweight, has a
smooth drag, cranks smoothly without grinding or vibration and has held up to a season of my use
(which probably translates to 2 or more years of average usage). My only complaint is that it
doesn't hold a lot of line, but for 99% of the fishing I do with it (largemouth, smallmouth &
walleye), the capacity is sufficient. Will I buy another Stradic? Very probable.

The others? I won't comment as I don't have first hand experience with them.

I have had mixed results with Cabelas Private Label products. Their Black
Label baitcasters sucked. Their telescoping rod broke easily. Their heavy
rods and the ones made by Quantum have held up ok. The rod carrier reviewed
on my website is wonderful.

I don't know about the Shimano.

I have had decent luck with Daiwa in the past.

The Prodigy is basically a "souped up" Daiwa Capricorn.

I am leaning now towards the brand new Quantum Energy PTi:
