Reply To: New Bates reel icast release

I don’t have this specific one, this is much cheaper than the three I have. I have a GOAT 150, A Salty 150, and a Hundo.

My experience so far with these is great. I rinse them off every time I use them because they’re usually covered with slime and salt. My only complaint is that on the Hundo I’ve been using it to pitch and flip and on the adjustments I can’t see if I’m tightening or loosening them which has caused me to backlash it more than usual and the adjustment is only on the outside of the reel.

The GOAT 150 I use the most, I just got the Salty which is only $30 more. Casting wise they cast great better than my other brand reels.

But what I’m comparing them too isn’t $300+ reels. All my other reels are citica, curados, and daiwa tatulas.
