Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

ICast 2011 rumors

Post by JWR075 » Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:11 am

With ICast only 4 months out, what new reel rumors (for USDM) are out there for Daiwa, Shimano, and the Pure Fishing group?

Not a reel question, but apparently PowerPro is coming out with a new and improved line.

Could be because they are being sued by Pure Fishing I beleive over a patent issue . They may have to change their line due to this. Just speculating.

The Abu morrum he uses is pretty sweet. I'd love it if it came to the states so at least I could get parts for mine if my JDM Morrum needs some TLC.

Abu purists will be puking their guts out about it due to the composite brake plates though...

I a few friends in the musky world who have hinted a Curado in the 500 size is in the works.

1. The Sol will return, but in a higher end incarnation. I'm not sure if it will still be called the Sol, but it will be a finesse reel.
2. The T3 comes over.
3. The Steez rods have a new guide train - recoils or micros.

Hey Sou,

That is what the Daiwa rep said. Maybe it is the Alphas 105...

Thanks! Maybe your Compile-x with micros will convince them. :big grin:

I wonder if Abu is gonna come out with a Revo with Nano-shield tech on it? I wish they'd quit farting around & make 30 size Sorons as well. I wouldn't be shocked with V series micro guide rods either & hopefully some crankin models.

I predict a CI4 low profile baitcaster. :big grin:

If anything else...microline spools for other reels.
