The Bass Assassin

Great Job Keep it up little angler, and your fish can only get bigger and bigger !!!!!!!!!!!

I am a big fan of the Calais DC. It is digitally controlled, and really minimizes backlashes, and allows you to cast into the wind as well. It has 7:1 retreive, and is as smooth as silk, plus it is one of the prittiest lreels that Shimano (or anyone for that matter) makes. It maybe a little pricey, but as you said, you don't mind paying a little extra for something better, and this is the best in my opinion. A reel like this can help you win some tourneys, especially if you plan on fishing against guys like Dave, Wayne and Mick !!!!!!!!
