While the Daiwa BG remains our top pick, the Penn Battle series is increasingly looking like a challenger thanks to its latest iteration, the Penn Battle IV Spinning Reel

Conventional Reel Baitcaster Conventional Reels: Are more common and easier to find Some conventional reels are used with baitcasting rods, which are also more common and easier to find May be easier to use for beginners Advantages of a Conventional Reel: Can handle heavier line weights than a spinning reel Good for offshore trolling or bottom fishing More powerful drag system Easier to fight large fish Disadvantages of a Conventional Reel: Heavier and more difficult to use than a spinning reel Line can become tangled more easily

I threw stick baits to BFT and caught Dorado trolling, then since these weren't really productive I resorted to jigging and bottom bait fishing despite the high speed of the reel to test the drag properly, and in short you can't tell the drag from that of a Saltiga

Crankbaits come in the full spectrum of colours but stick to the basics of bass fishing
