Cabelas has the "Prestidge" at $80 and Bass Pro has the "Extreme" for $70... Anybody with some more than limited experience with either or better yet both and can compare... Also, anybody know of others...

I have two very much older Abus and a Quantum that is out of production...

Others... Abu Garcia 2005LP in that $70-80 sug. retail price. I picked one up for around $40 brand new in the box on Ebay.

Since there is six times as much water as dry land on earth, any fool
can plainly see the good Lord meant for man to fish six times as much as he works.

Greg - I have one of the new Cabela's Tounament ZX - FS, $69.99 (bait caster w/flipping switch). Seems like a good reel, the little bit I have used it so far this year. Have two of the "old style" Prodigy bait casters, love 'Em. Was sad to see that they changed them this year. C-man

Daiwa Megaforce, I found some on EBAY


Most of my money is spent on fishing, fishing tackle and boats, the rest is wasted:exactly:. moreyes <'{{^}}< :cheers:http://www.walleyecentral.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=106750

I was at Wal Mart the other day and they have an Abu Garcia model with a flipping switch for around $60 if I remember right. It was packaged in plastic rather than a box and looked like a decent reel. I think it had 4 ball bearings. I think it would work good for bottom bouncing.
