The Best 2011 ICAST: Reels 

Daiwa: Magforce 3D 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Daiwa's top-of-the-line baitcaster is this hot-rod reel. The 3D stands for the three modes the reel is capable of: All Around, Max Brake and Long Cast. When a switch on the bottom of the reel is flipped, the reel automatically adjusts itself, allowing you to make the most efficient cast possible. Each mode can be further tuned for the best casting experience possible.

Quantum: EXO PT

This new reel touts “Metal Where It Matters” … which makes it one of the lightest on the market (5.9 ounces).

Daiwa: PX Type R

This speedster is Daiwa's newest addition to its baitcasting line. It's a svelte 5.3 ounces, has a 6.8:1 gear ratio, 10 ball bearings and a high-tech Magforce Z anti-backlash system. It's available in both right- and left-hand retrieve and has a max drag of 11 pounds.

Shimano: Curado G

With four Shimano SUS bearings and an A-RB (anti-rust) roller bearing, the new Curado G reels weigh 6.9 ounces and each will handle 155 yards of 10-pound test mono or 120 yards of 50-pound PowerPro braid. The Curado 200G7 and 201G7, with 7.1:1 gear ratios, will retrieve 30-inches of line per crank; the Curado 200G6 and 201G6, with 6.5:1 gear ratios, will pull in 27-inches of line per crank; while the Curado 200G5 winds in 23-inches of line per crank with its 5.5:1 gear ratio.

Pinnacle Fishing: Tournament Class Optimus XiHS Hand Tuned Baitcast Reel

Pinnacle is taking trial and error out of the baitcast equation by hand tuning each Optimus XiHS reel before it leaves the facility.

Ardent: Edge

 

Ardent's Edge features new technology designed to improve the drag system on its baitcast reels. Drag Tracking Technology allows the levelwind on the reel to track parallel with the line location on the spool as line peels off in drag mode. On other reels, the levelwind is stationary and produces sharp line angles and variances in drag pressure that may cause lines to break.

Lew’s: Tournament MG

 

Tournament MG Series is the newest addition to the Lew’s baitcast reel family. This series has a one-piece die-cast aluminum frame, 10 double-shielded stainless steel bearings, graphite side covers and a longer than ordinary "power crank" handle. The MG comes in four models, including one left-handed version.

The Best Sport Fishing Equipment-Freshwater

G.Loomis NRX BASS RODS

NRX is the culmination of what we have been doing at G.Loomis since day one. We have been continually striving to build the best rod on the planet. Laminates, resin, mandrels, components and the know how you expect from us. These NRX rods look like nothing we have built before. They feel better than anything we have built before. We aren't talking about a little better here or a little lighter there...
What we are saying so there is no confusion... " This is the Best Bass Rod Ever Built!" $450.00-$500.

St. Croix Legend Xtreme Casting Rods

The St. Croix Legend Xtreme Casting Rods are incredibly light and sensitive, yet have plenty of power when you need it. The Legend Extreme rods feature St. Croix's premier SCVI graphite material, a 62,000,000 modulus, high-strain graphite that compliments Legend's core of SCV graphite. The SCV graphite material is itself an extraordinarily high-modulus/high-strain graphite fiber featuring a carbon-matte scrim. It is considered the highest quality all-purpose graphite blank material, and is exclusive to St. Croix. The Legend Xtreme rods also feature the exclusive Integrated Poly Curve Technology (IPC). IPC eliminates all transitional points in the rod blank, resulting in smoother action, increased strength, and greater sensitivity. Legend Xtreme's Advanced Reinforcing Technology (ART) is a carbon fiber material that adds 10x strength with virtually no increase in blank diameter or weight. ART significantly improves hoop strength of the blank by preventing it from deforming or "ovaling" under severe load, such as a powerful hook set. These phenomenally sensitive, smooth and light rods feature ultralight and durable REC Recoil guides and a Fuji SiC tip guide with a titanium coated frame. Attach your reel with the Fuji ACS Reel Seat. No detail is overlooked, down to the machined-aluminum wind check, premium grade split grip cork handles, and two coats of FLex Coat slow-cure finish.

Team Daiwa Zillion Type R Casting Reels - $399.99

The New Team Daiwa Zillion-R Casting Reel further raises the bar of the Zillion line with Daiwa's latest innovations in reel technology and sleek Japanese styling. The Zillion Type-R features an aluminum frame and side gear plate, providing the strength and stiffness necessary to handle the lightning-fast "Hyper-Speed" 7.3:1 gear ratio. The Zillion-R is silky smooth thanks to it's 12 bearings (11 ball bearings + 1 roller bearing), a "free-floating spool," and infinite anti-reverse. Precise adjustments can be made to the reel thanks to micro click knobs on the bearing cap and the top-of-the-line "Magforce-Z" magnetic breaking system. The Zillion-R isn't all precision, though: a rugged 6-point drive train and powerful Ultimate Tournament Drag mean this reel is ready for anything. Zillion-R has taken it's subtle styling cues from Japanese reel enthusiasts. Red highlights compliment aluminum finish trim, and the new Daiwa "Carbon Swept" handle is a perfect addition to this enthusiast-inspired reel.
