    Default Crappie Maxx Tightline Special Reel


    Any opinions on this reel? I would use it for vertical fishing only, spooled with 30' of 10# line. It would be mounted on a 10' Crappie Maxx Signature Series rod. Thanks.

    I got 4 of them on sale for like $12 a piece. If they didn't improve them any, save your money. The gears went out on 2 of mine. For 10 more bucks a pop and after less than a year I had to replace them. I went with Pfluger Trions. I know they are not baitcaster style but i like them better cause you never have to remember to put our guides down. And you don't have to flip it back around to reel or let line out.
    I aint here to tell you anything. You want to know what Im doing....pm me and meet me on the lake.

    Thanks guys, I looked at the online sites you suggested. Now I did see the LEWS Wally Marshall on the Las Vegas ICAST 2011 news brief. LEWS makes good stuff I think, so the new Wally Marshall stuff may be good also. What do you think. ( am I hi-jacking my own thread? )
