Bass Assassin

I'm willing to pay allot for a good reel i just want to know if this reel is any good

aha i know but what i meant by saying that is ill spend what ever amount to buy a good reel i just wanna know if this reel is actually good.

Whats your reason?

Whats your Opinions on the Okuma trio? I came across this spinning reel as I was looking at Shimano stradic reels. I've been told that the Okuma Trio is the top of the line and is a reel like no other. Im looking into this reel and want to know if it would be a good decision to buy it.

I don't like to cheap out on any type of reel or rod i like to go all out I like spinning reels because that's what I've been using for years but on all the t.v shows and tournaments all the pros are using bait casters and i don't understand why because what every you can do with a bait caster you can do with a spinning reel. I see that there is so thing u can do with a bait caster like thumbing the line but i find you would get more birds nests and tangles. There has to be something amazing about bait casters for everybody to be using them over spinning reels.

I usually use a 10 pound test this way i can still catch bigger fish without my line breaking but its also not to big so that i still have sensitivity and invisibility

What do you use to catch them?

yes mainly bass around that area I have some family on that lake and I get allot of stories about some nice 5lb bass that they catch.

Where about's is that I have never heard of it.

I see many people are saying the trilene xl is the best for spinning reels so I think ill go for that because I more of a top water fish I use mainly hula poppers top water lures and shallow water lures but i also fish for perch and smaller fish and I think braid would be unnecessary for that kind of fishing

what skills do you have to learn to use a bait caster? Why is it so much harder to use?

Thanks for the great opinion's guys they will be very useful to me and a snacher well its just like snatcher but more of a redneck way aha like calling a fish a shad for instance.

ahh just a couple threads ive only posted 2 or 3 i cant see why there would be a problem here im only asking some questions

you shouldn't have to use a floro leader every time it makes ur line weaker because there's a knot in it and plus it cost money to buy leaders u should just be able to tie right onto the lure rather than messing around with floro leaders. leaders should be for pike fishing with steel leaders.

What are the advantages of a bait caster reel over a spinning reel? and what situations is it better to use a bait caster reel than a spinning reel?
