Cabela's prodigy baitcasters

[Guest]

Has anyone tried these reels? They look really nice, but i'd like to hear someone elses opinion before i get one.

Yeah I have tried them.

I would recommend saving your money and getting something worth your hard earned cash.

The prodigy is made by Diawa.
It is the exact duplicate of the (**** I forgot), but the prodigy has an extra ball bearing over the diawa, and the Diawa is $10.00 more expensive. If you like Diawa reels you would like the Prodigy. For that amount of money however the Pflueger Trion is a better reel.(IMO)

Addendum
The prodigy baitcaster--if you're looking for a spinning reel then I strongly recommend buying shimano or Okuma.
Shimano--go Sahara or better
Okuma--the epixor ten ball bearing reel is one of the best reels on the market
