stratos285proxl Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 So I've just gotten into flipping and pitching heavily here lately. I don't plan on pitching heavy stuff. Probably medium weight. What is a good reel for pitching and flipping that won't really break the bank. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalljaw Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 whatever reel you choose just make sure you get the fastest reel as it will help a lot. Something in the 7.0:1 gear ratio will let you get the bait in an out of places much faster. If weight isn't a factor in your reel choice then I'd go with a simple Lews speed spool, it sells for 100 dollars and don't confuse it with the laser speed spool which is around 80 bucks. A friend of mine got a Lews Tounament pro speed spool and he really liked it so when his son's birthday was rolling around he got him a regular speed spool. We went fishing and my buddy had the kid's reel out with him to dial it in and he ended up using it all day, when we got done fishing he took his tourney pro back and got 3 more speed spools, his son got one of the new ones while my buddy kept the the other 3. He told me the only difference between the two was the weight and the dual breaks but performance wise it ws the same for 100 dollars less and that is an aluminum framed reel. If you need the magnetic breaks then move up to the tounament MG which is a few dollars more but still good performance. The reason you don't want the laser speed spool is the frame is graphite, a few good fish or some hard hook sets on limbs will flex the graphite frame and your reel will feel like a coffee grinder.

Cant go wrong with a 7.0:1 or higher gear ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
