Favorite Discontinued Reel?

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.

Favorite Discontinued Reel?

Post by TackleJ » Mon Jan 26, 2015 10:32 am

I saw the "favorite discontinued bait" topic in the hardbait section and figured I'd start one on reels, my favorite subject :lol:. My favorite discontinued reel would have to be either the Curado D or E. What's yours?

I forgot about the Conquest. Great reel. Haven't tried any of the TD's yet.

For me it is easily any variation of the TD-Z.

Shimano core 100 for me. I'm really looking forward to the new Aldebaran though.

Easy the Zillion SHA's, my favorite platform ever, and tons of tuning options. Daiwa will live to regret that imo

Another would be the 07 100 size Metanium/US Core 100

I could say a TD-Ito or something flashy but honestly it's hands down the Certate Vintage Custom. It's still my favorite spinning reel even over my Stellas.
