[QUOTE="ccm, post: 374050, member: 13447"] I suggest a baitcaster for bass fishing. Low profiles are nice but it is hard to find something that has the line carrying capability that your looking for so I suggest a round reel. Good choices are the Abu Garcia 5600C4 & the 5500C3. If your going to use it for flipping & pitching I suggest the C4 because it has a higher gear ratio ( 6:3:1 ) & it has the fast cast thumb bar. No need to buy new these reels are pretty much bullet proof & there are a ton of aftermarket upgrades for them. The last 5600 c4 I bought I paid $45 for it used but in like new condition ( It had a couple of small scratches on it ) This year I upgraded it with Boca Ceramic Lighting spool bearings & it will outcast/flip my dads revo sx. I plan on putting a dual bearing worm gear on it along with a ceramic pawl very soon. If the 5500/5600 sizes are a little big I suggest looking at the 4600 size range. If looking to save some $$$ try finding a tackle store owner or a fishing reel repair place that gets the close out reels from pure fishing & other manufactures every year ( these guys normally sell at boat/fishing shows every year ) My local tackle store owner does this & it has allowed me to save a ton of green every year. I just bought a new Orra2SX for $45 & and a new Orra S30 for $25; a tremendous savings over retail. [/QUOTE]
