Default Re: Reel recommdations

The accurate valiant and maxel hybrid are nice little reels, but put them side by side with other similar reels in the same class and you will notice they just aren't that smooth out of the box. And the Lexa 300 at $199 (list price) vs the valiant at $399 is a no brainer... If you're gonna spend that kinda money, get the Daiwa Saltiga 15H (US Spec) and call it a day. Put the handle in the outward power position and you have a NE fish killer in your hands! The new Saltiga is the smoothest reel on the market right now in the class (in the US!).
