Baitcast Reel features a machined-aluminum spool, Recurve Handle design for a lightweight feel, 10-position magnetic braking system that eliminates backlash and free-spooling option, 10 stainless steel bearing system (9+1), powerful star drag, and Powerlock™ instant anti-reverse for complete control the entire time. ive always just gone on the more bearings the better this is mostly just going to be used for baitcasting maybe for throwing out some swim baits so if you could give me some advice as rather or not to buy it or not would be great im getting it for 40 $ good deal??? also what would be a good type of rod to put it on???
thanks for all the help i love this website

GO get a Daiwa Reel at Cabelas and you wont be dissapointed. In my experience almost every reel under about 80.00 arent worth much.
I would buy a slightly used high quality reel over a new cheaper one. The higher end ones are built a lot better.
just my .02
Shoot me a PM and I’ll tell you where to get some great deals on bass stuff.
Bass Pro Shops does have their own line of fishing equipment including rods, reels, fly rods and reels, lures… etc., and nothing they make is junk. It may not all be top of the line but anything they produce is good for the money. If you are going to invest in a baitcaster it’s a good bet for trolling but until you get really good with a spinning reel I wouldn’t invest in a baitcasting reel. They are nice because you can load them with heavier line and get really great casting distance because there is very little friction on the line spool upon casting, but they are a pain to learn to cast and you’ll get really tired of cutting the bird nests off of the line spool until you figure out how to use one properly. I say, just stick with a good spinning reel until you master casting it and when you go to a baitcaster spend some money and get a really good one and you’ll appreciate the investment better.

I would suggest to get the BPS Tourney Special. I have tow of them and they are great. I haven’t had a problem with either one and I’ve had them for over two years now. Match it with one of the BPS Tourney Rods for 79.99 and it’s a great combo.
