I have a question. Why are there so many complete tools out there who leave the G-Loomis stickers on the rod handles? Every bass tournament I have ever entered had at least a few of these bozos in it. Is it because they think it makes them look rich? Even though everyone on the planet knows that they cost exactly 50% of that retail price. I buy cork handle rods because I like the cork on the handles of the rods. It makes absolutely no sense to cover that handle up with some cheap piece of plastic/paper with a price tag on it. I am sure they know that everyone is laughing at them.
For the record, keeping a price tag on a piece of fishing equipment is 100% identical to keeping the tags/stickers on your hat/shoes and wearing them around. Most prolific fisherman call those people idiots and retards when they are doing that same thing with their own rods. Complete clowns.

That reel is nice, but if I was going to drop that amount of money, I'd be getting the JDM Aldebaran BFS, or maybe the calcutta conquest BFS HG. I'd put either BFS reel on an Ultralight rated 5'6 casting rod, that has a nice soft noodle whip action, with 6 pound fireline on the reel. I'd use that to chuck light 1/32 oz jigs with 2 curl tail grubs under trees and such, for panfish, and whatever else would grab it, and other light baits I'd use. All hail BFS fishing! There are quite a number of people that use these ultra light casting rods and reels, fishing for trout on streams. It's awesome.

This is strictly a bass reel. You can't even cast a heavy lure with it cos you will spool yourself. Tackle Tour did a review on the 2012 Antares and they were already saying they were getting spooled on 50 lbs braid and the Aldebaran's line capacity is even lower. I fish inshore and the lightest lure I use is like 1 1/2 oz, so this reel is definitely off my list. If I must go low profile, I will probably go with the Chronarch Ci4+.

is this really worth the money though? I have a birthday coming up and I have about 500 I can spend and I wanted to pick this reel up but I can't really find any good finesse reels that will throw light lures and be as light as this reel

I used to use a reel like that all the time for bass fishing but then one day they stopped biting and red fish toon over my favorite bass fishing spot so I had to start using a tougher rod and reel so I can pull in the bull reds.

If you were to spool this up with some 20-pound maxquatro power pro w/ a fluorocarbon leader would it be good for jerkbaits and cranks? Or is the Daiwa Steez A TW a better choice?

what kind of line are you using with this reel? im assuming your only going to get about 60-65yds of anything strong enough for pitching and flipping in cover.

I picked this up in the spring and it hasn't broken yet, fishing with this reel is awesome. I never show up to a tournament without it
