brwnbass Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I just bought a new to me ardent xs1000 reel & was wondering if anybody has any good/bad experiance with them? I have used it once so far & am very impressed with it. It will cast a mile & dosent backlash easily at all. I was throwing a 1/4oz shaky head & 5" worm on it & was getting it almost half spooled!

BassinHomer Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I havent had any experience with them but I've eyeballed the'r flip n pitch reel a few times at BPS, glad you like it, thats pretty impressive with the lure set up you were throwing.

Tubejig Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Very familiar with Ardent. good stuff. Maybe overpriced but it's made in the USA and when purchased new it has a 3 year warranty. If you like it, that's all that really matters, IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
