| I have only owned 1 bait cast reel in my life. I didn't like it. The bird's nests are for the birds LOL... I will stick with my open-face spinning reels against the bait cast ANY day lolol | |

Once you get the hang of them theres no going back to all open face reels LOL Those silver ones are my pride and joy at $200+ a pop and 8+ bearings in them they can cast just about anything to the moon LOL | |

| I can imagine they can. I have heard from several people that once you get used to a bait cast you will never go back to open face. Well, for one, I don't have the money to spend on new reels, so, I wil stick with my open face... I have some pretty expensive ones too.. Nothing as expensive as yours; however, they will still cast a very long way and I like them the best LOL | |

The best reel money can buy is the one that catches the fish LOL I love my abus but I still roll with the open face more times than not  | |

| Nice reels Terry! I love my ambassaduers also. The only thing I use spinning reels for anymore is for bait and when I am casting small bass lures. I have heard good things about the pro max reels but never used them. | |

| If everyone liked the same type of reels there would only be one kind made. I love my baitcasters, but use spinning and spincast too. | |
