Title: Suggestions for a very fast bass reel
Post by: JasonGotaProblem on March 14, 2024, 11:33:06 AM
What's the fastest small/medium baitcaster (as measured by inches per turn) that doesn't cost an absolute fortune? Extra points if it's still in production or still readily available used.

I'm sure everyone will have something to say, but it's hard to beat the value of the Piscifun baitcasters. I have an Alijos 300 that's 8:1 and it's a nice reel. They're pretty cheap right now since they came out with a 400.  If you want something smaller there's the Alloy M which you can get in 8.4:1. I've heard good things about their round baitcasters too but they're only 5.3:1. There's a Kast King that's 10.5:1 42" per turn but I didn't like the Kast Kings I've owned in the past.
