Energy to Burn:
Quantum Energy E100 SPTA
Before I was given the chance to test the Energy E100 SPTA, how many Quantum
baitcasters have I owned? Try none! While I owned and fished a few of their
saltwater spinning reels several years ago, their baitcasting reels just never
found their way into my arsenal. Although not immediately new to the market, the
latest Energy PT reels are totally new to me and I was really curious to finally
get one out on the water. |
 |
Finesse
at the Entry Level: Abu Garcia's Revo S20 Spinning Reel
Abu Garcia's
moderately-priced Revo SX20 is a pleasing reel to look at. The first obvious
resemblance that came to mind is that it looks similar to my Shimano Stradic
Ci4+. The body is comprised of an X-Craftic alloy frame and C6 carbon body for
reduced weight and added corrosion protection. |
 |
A Proven Concept, the 13 Fishing "C" Series Low Profile Baitcaster
Now 13 Fishing is challenging naysayers once again
with the introduction of high-end low profile baitcasters with their Concept
Series. We have already taken a close look at the entry level Concept A and
today we put the higher end Concept C through the paces. |
 |
Finesse
at the Entry Level: Abu Garcia's Revo S20 Spinning Reel
Now spanning several levels of pricing and performance, the Revo family
continues to enjoy epic popularity. In this review we dissect the entry- level
Revo spinning reel—the S20 model—to see if it has mean performance that exceeds
its friendly price tag. |

Quantum's First Magnesium Framed Reel, the Tour Mg!
There was a point in time, several years ago, when someone showed me a reel from Quantum, my first thought before even handling the reel was "heavy". Well, at ICAST 2013, Quantum impressed me with what I found hard to believe was their very first foray into a reel made of this material. Here now is our look at Quantum's Tour Mg!

The Baitcaster Shimano needed to get right, the Curado I
Series
While most reel manufacturers have a flagship reel that is used to
showcase the latest and greatest technology the majority of the sales volume
comes from reels in the value and mainstream segment. This hotly contested
portion of the market is arguably the most important to reel manufacturers and
it is here where the Shimano Curado Series has dominated for so many years...

Does Quantum's Tour KVD Have the Power to Win Us Over?
When it comes to promoting the sport of Bass Fishing, few have the appeal and influence of Kevin Van Dam. Whenever his name is in the sportfishing news fans pay attention. It's been some time since we've looked at any of his signature products, so today, we dive right in to check out Quantum's Tour KVD 151HPT. |

Performance at a professional Level? Bass Pro Shops' Pro
Qualifier Casting Reel
Products from large-scale retailers like Cabela's and Bass Pro
Shops don't get a whole lot of press here at TackleTour, but that doesn't mean
we don't keep an eye on what they are producing. Though reviews can be pretty
mixed on some of these offerings, the Pro Qualifier from Bass Pro Shops has
always had a noticeable following. |

A Classic is Re-Made : Abu Garcia's Morrum ZX 3600/01
Several years in the teasing, we awaited the subject of today's review from Abu Garcia for quite some time. Year after year at ICAST, they showed us glimpses of the reel and promised "next year". Finally this past year, the announcement was made and now the classic, recreated Morrum is finally available in North America. |

A Shining Star Amidst a Milkyway
of Reels: The Antares by Shimano
Just about every reel
manufacturer has what can be referred to as their flagship products. More often
than not, this is their most expensive reel in each category for which they make
a product. In the case of low profile baitcasting reels, Daiwa has the Steez,
Abu Garcia has the Premier and so on... |
 |
Abu Garcia Raises the Speed Bar with their Rocket!
With each passing year, the feature manufacturers
of low profile baitcasing reels have been racing to surpass each other with has
been the speed of their reels - more specifically, retrieve speed. Since the
7.1:1 threshold was broken, we witnessed incremental increases to 7.4 then 7.9
then 8.1, 8.5 until suddenly at last year's ICAST... |
 |
Okuma's Big Bait Slayer, the Komodo
Earlier this year, we touched upon one option from Okuma, the Citrix which is available in both a 200 and 300 size option. Today we look at another option from this same manufacturer and one that is priced one tier up from the Citrix. Introducing our look at Okuma Fishing's Komodo low profile baitcaster.
|
 |
Daiwa’s Steez EX 100XS
offers a Deadly Combination of Both Speed and Precision
So often achieving speed requires sacrifices in refinement but every once
in a while a product comes around that strives to achieve both. Daiwa’s Steez
Series has long been the benchmark of ultra lightweight magnesium baitcasters
and the latest addition to the premium lineup is the 100XS which delivers a
blisteringly fast 7.9:1 gear ratio |
 |
What a Concept! 13 Fishing's Concept-A Reel
is a Bulldog
Even though we had the rare chance to play with a
couple of the prototypes at the 2013 ICAST show,
nothing beats experiencing the finished product. With that said, we were quietly
able to acquire a couple of Concept-A reels for testing and a full lab breakdown
well before their scheduled release to the general public. |
 |
Okuma Delivers Solid Performance With Their Citrix Suite of Reels
Today, we take a look at a
mid-line product from a manufacturer whose had their share of criticism from
consumers along their baitcaster journey. Is Okuma finally poised to make a move into the low profile baitcaster market? Here's our take on the Citrix suite of reels. |
 |
A Step Forward, An Inside Look at the New Shimano Curado
I
The Shimano Curado was first introduced in 1991 and since that time has
represented Shimano’s workhorse baitcasting reel. These low profile baitcasters
have certainly evolved over time, increasing in both features and refinement.
Officially launched last week at the Bassmaster Classic Expo we were excited to
get the reel back home and on water. |
|
|
No
Secret, Shimano’s Curado I Reels Look like the Real Deal
In the last 24
hours Shimano officially unveiled the new reel at the Bassmaster Classic Outdoor Expo in Birmingham Alabama, and
for the first time the public was able to get their hands on the new reels. |
 |
See
Things in Black and White with the Generation 3 Abu Garcia Revo S
As the “entry
level” Revo model, the new S offers some interesting features and an eye
catching appearance. This reel has some stiff competition in it's price
segment; after all, it's playing in the same ballpark as a long time fan
favorite, the Shimano Citica. Does this refreshed Revo have what it takes to
score a home run? |
 |
13 Fishing Gears
up to Launch New Proprietary Low Profile Baitcasting Reels
13 Fishing
has never been a company to shy away from taking chances and breaking the mold and this fast
rising brand is bucking the trend once again with the announcement that they
are gearing up to introduce not one, but a complete line of proprietary low
profile baitcasters.
|
 |
Daiwa Tatula Type R - Worth the Upgrade?
Earlier this year, Daiwa teased
their ICAST 2013 introduction with a series of short tease videos broadcast on
youTube. Simultaneously, they shipped us what we came to find out was a very
late model prototype of that very reel, the Tatula, for a full blown review.
Then, when all the hype was lifted, we find out at ICAST that there are two
versions of this reel, the regular Tatula and the "tuned" Type R |
 |
Compact and Strong: The Lew's Super Duty SD1H Baitcaster
In my over 20 years
of fishing I have fished countless reel brands, but never a Lew's. That all
changed when I had the opportunity to test the new Super Duty model SD1H casting
reel. There has been a good amount of buzz regarding the refreshed lineup, so I
was excited to see if it was indeed the truth or nothing but a bunch of bologna. |
 |
Take 3 : Abu Garcia's Revo Winch
Abu Garcia has not forgotten those of us who like
to take things slow. In fact, this manufacturer has a reel they've built
especially for the purpose of slow cranking and today we take a look at their
latest version of this very reel. Here's our look at the Abu Garcia Generation 3
Revo Winch.
|
 |
The Shimano Flagship Anatares and Metanium Baitcasters now
Available Stateside
How many times
have you looked across the pond and wondered why do the reel manufacturers keep
the best stuff exclusively in Japan? The lines between JDM enthusiast imports
and high end baitcasters has just been crossed as Shimano announced this morning
that it is now making both the Antares and Metanium baitcasters available to the
U.S. |
 |
Does Daiwa's Exceler Excel or Repel?
Leveraging the success of last
year's popular Lexa introduction Daiwa continues to bolster their product line
for the budget conscious angler. Introducing our look at the sub $100 Daiwa
America Corporation Exceler casting reel. |
 |
Abu Garcia's Workhorse - the Gen 3 Revo SX
Since the introduction of Abu
Garcia's Revo line of baitcasting reels, the company has been very aggressive in their efforts to dominate market share as is evidenced by the diversity of their lineup. Their entry into this workhorse category of casting reels? Well, that's the reel we're looking at today. Introducing our take on Abu Garcia's 3rd Generation Revo SX.

Budget-Minded Performance with the new Mitchell 300 Pro
Shortly before
ICAST 2013 began, myself and the rest of the TackleTour crew each received one
of Mitchell's newest reels, the 300 PRO. Also offered in a smaller 308 and 310
size, these reels look very promising for the budget-minded angler. Armed with
this new reel that magically showed up on my doorstep, it was a no-brainer that
a full review had to be done! |
 |
Redefining a Classic, the Lew’s BB1 Baitcaster
The BB1 is the heart of the Lew’s baitcasting lineup and it was a tall
order to redesign this legendary reel. The original BB1 was a pioneering reel
that really changed the perception of what a low profile baitcaster could, and
should be. Decades later this new BB1 seeks to channel that same forward
thinking and infuse modern day design and technology into a classic. |
 |
Daiwa's New Workhorse Has Thoroughbred Tendencies : Tatula
In 2011, Daiwa created a stir
with the introduction of their innovative T-Wing level wind. The final product,
the T3 and T3 Ballistic casting reels, were met with mixed reviews here on
TackleTour. Now, just two short years later, they've embarked on a large R&D
campaign titled "Project T" to introduce the next generation of reels enabled
with this levelwind design. |
