absolute worst reel you ever owned

[Finnz922]

Cabelas Prodigy baitcaster the one based on the Aggrest. Full of grease and just felt cheap. Sucks that it was a Daiwa.

[tywithay]

Quantum....well every one I've tried.
Revo Gen3 STX
Okuma Stratus
Curado 200e5
Ardent Edge Elite

Shimano Callisto!!!!! It's somewhere in the water as my friend threw it off the boat for me lol

pinnacle vision.



won it at a club t and, at first, I thought they were penalizing me for a dead fish.

Shimano Symetre, I got two and both failed very early on, in fact these were the only reels I ever had fail out of most major brands.

Shimano Corsair for me as well. I was young and didn't know about the free replacement. My IAR went out within a month.

[Mnbasser]

Quantum Escalade. Biggest POS baitcaster I've ever touched. It's been resting at the bottom of a lake for a long time now

[bmlum]

Anything quantum and a revo winch

[njbasscat]

Shimano Corsair complete junk!

Yep. Even Shimano knew that. That's why they offered the Corvalus (discontinued) as a free replacement. I sent mine in 2 years after they stopped the replacement and still got the replacement no questions asked.

Yes. I bought one when they came out and had problems with it. I took it back after a season and to my surprise, it was replaced with a newer version. It wasn't much better. I sold it and got a Millionaire.

Daiwa t3, hood and tws on that reel must have been engineered by Stevie wonder.

The spinning reel that was endorsed by Ted Takasaki after he won a major PWT event...went back to Daiwa SS Tournament and Emblems and Shimanos and never looked back.

[KlingerNOK]

Tossup between Quantum Iron(junk) and the AbuGarcia Eon(obviously NEVER field tested).
The Eon had possibilities but nothing worked as intended.
The Quantum was just junk that died after less than a season of use. Shoulda been called the Quantum Rust.

[Eric Walsh]

I had the Eon and feel exactly the same, had potential but wow that reel was a birdnesting machine.
