Interesting, like seeing your thoughts on the Fuego. I've had good luck with mine but it did need some lube! You'd take the BPS PQ2 over the Fuego 🤔 that interesting! Heck yeah we want to see the old reels, bring em out. We need to chat and catch up soon!
No doubt the Fuego is a solid reel, but the PQ is bulletproof, lol For sure brother...hit me up whenever you get some free time. Thanks for stopping by.
I have 2 of the BPQ2 reels, the drag was just a little weak trying to pull 3 pounders out of reeds and grass, other than that, I think I might get 1 more this winter #certified #tacklejunkies #DEBO
Interestingly the BPS PQ2 is actually on sale right now for 70$ sounds like a good value and I'll have to make a visit and pick one up.
@@shanet9149 You'll dig it!
@@shanet9149 nice! I know around the classic last year they had them for $49.99 (that's when I grabbed mine). If you like it, keep your eyes peeled around that time in case you need another reel!
The best $100.00 baitcaster reel is The QUANTUM ACCURIST PT S3 7.1 ratio. It has a flipping switch too. The colors are really cool also. Just got mine for $83.00 from Wal-Mart online.com. I will put it on a Ugly Stick medium heavy baitcaster rod 6'6. This combo kick's butt. Wake up people and give Quantum a try. If The ACCURIST PT S3 is isn't your cup of tea. Go after the Smoke S3 PT. Its higher dollar. But its even better. Shawn
Yea, lets see the collection.
👊💪
I have a Fuego CT, I agree with your review. I feel it is better for throwing heavy baits like big spinner baits, big jigs, or chatterbaits. If I could do it all over I’d probably buy a Lews Mach 2, I have one of those and have 0 complaints.
👊💪
Why not, lets see that reel collection.
Also you should mention another extremely popular reel in that $100 market. Lew's Speed Spool LFS series was one of the first aluminum framed solid reel at the $99 price point. They are also a solid reel for the money. The new LFS reels have some really nice features like a 95mm handle, 15lbs drag, bearing supported pinion, and brass gears for a extremely tough and smooth setup. I have a few from back in the day that are still going strong after years of me beating on them.
Yes sir, love Lews as well. I've heard lots about the reel you mentioned, but I haven't used it. Appreciate you watching buddy!
Nice review !!💪 I did pick up the CT this year as your recommendation but I screwed up and got the 8.1.1 ughh . I do use it on my T rig rod . Now that SLX I own 7 of those and the DC . I love the way those feel in hand and solid as well for that $100 price point . Definatley think you have to try out that SLX DC next year !!!
Thanks buddy! I'm going to pick up the DC and the XT. 👊💪
Do you like the slx or fuego more?
Great review Jim! I will stick with my shimano reels forever, glad you mentioned them as keepers in your arsenal! Keep up the great tips and advice!
Thank you Tim! Shimano is definitely top shelf!
Good reel! I also recommend The Lews Mach 2, Crush and the New Smash! ;)
👊💪
I’ve haven’t fished with or casted a Daiwa reel before. The local sporting goods/outdoors store near me (10 miles down the road) has a lot of Daiwa and Okuma reels and very few Lew’s reels (guess the local population had a say so on their stock). I’m a diehard Lew’s fan but am always willing to give other manufacturers a try if their product “checks all my boxes” on what I’m wanting in a reel (echoing what you and I chatted about earlier today. 😉). Thanks for the video review. Will ride over to my local store and see what Daiwa reels they have in stock and check’em out. 😎😎
Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching buddy!
You’re welcome. Have a great weekend!! See ya Sunday evening on SNL!
@@MailmanDownEDC You too brother! 👊💪
Nope Shimano SLX. Hands down or Lews LFS. Just my opinion. And yes let’s see the collection
👊💪
The Pro Qualifier over the Fuego thank you for doing this video my friend I’m looking at the Pro Qualifier now and I haven’t seen one negative review on that Reel.
Great choice! 👊💪
I agree Bro, Definitely worth the extra $30 on the Tatula.. I gotta tell you buddy, I have been pleasently surprised by the Abu Garcia Revo X.. $100 price point, sometimes less. Not sure how you feel about their reels but the X is really something you may want to check out. Take care my Brother 👊
Hey brother, I'll have to check out the X. Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching! 👊💪
Dude that Fuego CT is MONEY! It's incredibly smooth and casts a country mile. With 65 lb test braid and a Live Target Frog I have casted the entire spool. One drop of oil on spool bearings is all it needed to quiet down. That seems to be a trend with most new daiwa reels lately.
Glad you're diggin it bro! 👊💪
When I got mine last year it came out of box great. Didnt need oil in it. I upgraded to boca bearings and run those dry.
Spool bearings were fine, but it definitely needs some grease.
Good honest review. I couldn't agree more. Nice man.
Thank you brother! 👊
plz make a video of all the reels u own!!! curious to see what u have thankx
👊💪
Great review! Diawa makes a sexy looking reel. In that price point the lews lfs has outlasted the other brands I have tried. However, I am guilty of not maintaining reels the way I should 😔
Thanks bud! I haven't used the lfs, but that reel appears to be pretty popular at that price point.
I agree the pro qualifier has been a favorite for a long time. In my opinion out preforms and is smoother than most reels. Even the lews lfs
👊💪
Lmfao I didnt have my contacts in and when you first showed up I didnt think you had a shirt on 😂
🤣😜
I get them for $79 off ebay. Great workhorse reel , just a pain that I have to open them up and grease the main gear and carbon drag washer right off the bat. Other than that no issues what so ever. Tight lines , TJ.
Hard to beat for that price. Appreciate you watching buddy!
The slx is in the same boat as the Fuego with the price point. Shimano made the slx xt reel this year for $130 and imo its a great upgrade for an extra 30. It has a way better braking system and I find it to be much smoother casting. All of my reels next season will be the slx and curado line besides maybe one
I'll have to check out the XT as well. Appreciate you watching buddy!
I'll take a Fuego anyday over a Tatula. Not a fan of the T-wing. Line builds up on one side of the spool if u run the line over your finger for ultimate bite detection on baits that require feel. For speed type baits it's good. I want to be able to use a reel for multiple applications. I wish they would make a Fuego with higher line capacity because I usually use 20 lb test and that fills a spool quick. You can find new Fuegos in the $60 range. I haven't seen SLX anywhere near that price. I think Fuegos the best bang for the $. I also own Pro Qualifiers.
The original Tats had some issues, but they fixed them...I haven't had any issues with the line building up on one side. Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching buddy.
@@TackleJunky81 mine are 2 years old (Type R) and they do it if u put your index finger under the line to feel for lite bites. Unless they've changed since then. It lifts the line up into the top of the T and renders the levelwind useless.
Sharing your reel collection is a great video ideal.
😎👍
I absolutely love the BPS PQ. I have one of the prior gen PQ but stacked up on them this spring with 3 at 49.99 and they always seem to be on sell. And for the price I think the PQ and PQ2.0 is so hard to beat. Mine are so smooth it crazy.
Yes sir, solid reel for sure!
Man. I agree. That cheap ass Pro Qualifier is a great set up! I like it as well as many more expensive reels.
💯
Lew's Tournament MB for $130 is also a good choice
👊💪
Let's see you pitch with that reel!
I personally like the SLX and Fuego over the PQ just on feel alone. Overall I think for the money the SLX is the best bang for the buck. To me the Fuego feels the best in my hand though.
All great reels...it's going to come down to personal preference. Thanks for watching buddy!
Over the years of fishing I appreciate my pro qualifier more each year. First one I bought as a cheap (on sale) reel to fill in my needs and still have them on my boat deck. Tough as nails but not very sexy. I bet you might have heard that before. :)
I don't know man, the special addition color they released last year was pretty sexy, lol Thanks for watching buddy!
Thanks for your honest opinion keep it real
My pleasure!
I have a bunch of $100 reels from different brands. My personal favorite at that price point is the Abu Revo X. Try one out sometime, I'd like to hear your opinion.
I'll check that one out for sure.
The spinning revo x is by far my favorite spinning reel. I take it over my revo rocket... but I got Shimano and diawa casting reels. Imma have to try Abu Garcias casting reels here soon
Dude if you did do a show and tell I would definitely watch, great video let me know if you ever decide to sell the type r.
No way I'm selling those, lol
@@TackleJunky81dude I wouldn't either lol, I still got a Penn my dad bought me when I was like 12. 🤣😂
For the $130 price range I think I would like to have the SLX XT but if I had to stay in the $100 price range then it would have to be the SLX for sure
👊💪
how does it perform in Salt water
You can find fuego's on eBay brand new for 60 bucks.
👊💪
They got the tatula for 100$ too that's a nice ass reel
you provided NO INFO on the reel. I ordered one anyway. The fuego spinner is a favorite at the $100 price point (second to Nasci). I want to compare the fuego casting reel to a few others including the SLX you mentioned. I consider the SLX top of the line for 100 bucks. We'll see how the fuego compares.
Nope, I don't see the point of going over specs that you can find on any website before purchase. I feel a review should be based on how the reel performed after using it. You'll like it. 👍 👊
I bout that Fuego bc of price but I have an slx which is far superior imo...I can skip incredibly the slx mgl but I can't decide if I should get an slx dc or the regular curado with no dc... Any opinions?
If you're looking for control go with the DC.
Who makes BassPro's reels? I have a few and they ARE amazing reels at any price. Throw some ceramics in there and they're at the top.
To be honest I have no clue. Back in the day I had Boca bearings in all my reels! 👊💪
Ryan McIntyre Doyo Korea makes them along with most Lew’s and Abu reels as well
Yeah let's see the collection of reels.
😎👍
I think the SLX is the best $100 reel out there but there are definitely others that come close.
👊💪
Thanks for the info. Looking into getting a new reel in that price point and I was debating the fuego or the SLX. No I will have to check out the pro qualifier. Have you tried any of the 13 fishing reels?
13 makes a solid reel. I've used the inception which was ok, but I really liked the A and C. I started using the Z this year and I'll review it next season.
@@TackleJunky81 awesome. Thanks for the info. Glad I found the channel. Binge watched about 20 videos already. Keep up the awesome work. Definitely a new fan.
@@shanet9149 Much appreciated brother! 👊💪
@@Ace228 thanks. Yeah I feel like I'm good spending the extra cash for a reel that will be a workhorse. Appreciate the info.
I have 3 Inception SZs - they're amazing reels and my 3 have performed reliably. The zero bearings are as smooth as a ceramic, no noise, maybe not as far casting difference but way better than sealed bearings. I'm becoming a 13 Fishing fanboy - will be getting more.
TJ81, will those reel storage bags work for spinning reels? If not, do you have any recommendation for spinning reel storage bags. I have about 18 in the fleet that I want to protect during winter storage in the fishing room. Any thoughts/feedback much appreciated.
Hey bud, sorry for the late reply as I just seen this. I believe Okuma has other reel bags that are made for spinning reels.
@@TackleJunky81 no worries, I ended up getting to Shimano reel bags for Christmas. :-)
Bro I have that reel and it’s one of the best ones I have btw I am the kid that was dm you yesterday
👊💪
Do you have an opinion on the Abu Garcia revo x gen 4? It looks pretty solid for $100. Great video
I haven't used that one buddy.
How about any of the lower end 13 fishing reels?
@@hv2518 I've used the inception...It was ok.
Thanks
I'm kinda new to the sport and recently purchased the Tatula SV. It's a great feeling reel but at times I feel like it's over braked. Are you familiar with this one and have any advice?
Yes sir, I've been using it all season. I can't say I've noticed that though. What brake setting do you keep it on?
@@TackleJunky81 looking at it now and assuming that I didn't accidentally move it as you mentioned happens on the Fuego CT, the external is sitting on 8 and the spool had a fairly fast fall rate. With a ⅜oz buzz bait I was getting maybe 60-80 feet of distance whereas my Alderbaran and el cheapo Fishband GH100 both outcast it by a good bit with lighter weight lures. All have 20# braid.
Whats up with the G loomis EX6 rods? 200 dollars sounds good.
No clue bud, I haven't used any Loomis rods.
This or the accurist s3
Pro qualifier II on sale at Cabelas right now for $70 just sayin
😎
Would you pick the SLX over the Tatula CT?
I personally like the CT better.
I saw the Illinois sticker on your boat or am I mistaken?
Yes, I'm in IL.
@@TackleJunky81 so am I. West Central. Between Springfield and Quincy.
Type R I hear its an awesome reel
Yes sir!
@@TackleJunky81 they are still quite expensive on Ebay even though its discontinued
Nice review sir, how do u see promax as comparison to this fuego ct 100xl. Which one is best. Im planning to get one of them. But i want more smooth retrive and best long life. So kindly suggest me sir. I go for snakehead fishing 3 to 5 days a week for 2 to 4 hour. So, after few month my casting reel need servicing and i do oiling and greasing but still i do not get smooth retrive. I have black max too. I upload my snakehead video on my chennal. So i need jr valuable suggestion fuego or promax . Plz respond sir
I haven't used any Abu reels so I can't say.
@@TackleJunky81 ok, if any of your friends can tell about this. Bcoz here in India we don't have many reel option as u people r having there in ur country.
Like number 100!
😎👍
Does the Fuego CT spool have notches on the ends?
Not sure what you mean...
@@TackleJunky81 I picked up a used one that needed a complete cleaning and noticed the spool had several half circle notches on the spool ends. One small one the brake side and four larger ones on the handled side, so was wondering if this was from misuse or if it came that way.
@@robfoster1444 I'm not seeing any on mine. You can shoot me a pic if you'd like. james.loduca@gmail.com
thank you sir
My pleasure Mike!
Tatula Ct vs slx xt
I like how you think 👊💪
For once no bullshit like this one is the best
Yesssss show us the goods of a pack rat of fishing gear lol
😎
Man, how am I to trust a man that runs a bass tracker?
I run a Crestliner now...that better?
Well you can't know any better as you are a victim of your geographical location. Really all of this is just me joking as I really do enjoy your videos.
@@thegrindizreal4401Right on! Appreciate you watching! 👊
Is this a review on how you wont buy daiwa . Waist of time review dislike.
🤔 I own around 20 Daiwa reels and just ordered a Steez A and a Tatula Elite, so you're wrong about how I won't buy Daiwa, lol Just not a huge fan of that particular reel.
