    Default Bass Pro Ultralight reel?


    I have some bass pro bucks coming and was looking for a reel, I have had only 2 of their store brand and I gave them away, horrible line twist as compared to other brands. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good model?
    Thanks

    Can’t go wrong with Pflueger President reels. Also I don’t think the BPS reels caused the line twist. Could be improper spooling, lack ob swivel, to name a couple reasons. JMHO

    All spinning reels are not created equal. They can design reels that greatly cut down on line twist. One big thing is having 2 ball bearings in the line roller assembly. Many cheaper reels will only have one bearing…and many will not have a bearing at all….just a nylon bushing.

    You can also reduce line twist by closing the bail with your hand instead of cranking to close the bail.
