Let me know how you like it. I have been looking at those.
Bring it to me, i'll test it for you
Na as soon as this weather clears up a little bit im gona put it to the test!
WALLY has a good reel out there
I like them, but wish they were reversible . I am left handed and the tension knob is on the left . Used them all last year .
I have one and a new mr crappie solo. I've yet to use either one besides jigging bushes in my wife's flower beds. I seem to like the mr crappie,solo better, not sure how long ill use the bnm
They any cheaper than the Wallys?
think 17.00 is the cheapest I have seen . I like the small Slater reels also .
14.99 at bass pro! I have the bucks mini reels on all my other poles at the moment and love them just figured why not try somethin new!
I have one and one of the Wally's. Haven't used much but like the B&M because of how close it sits to the rod. Got handle mounted to the left side so have to reel backwards but puts line right next to rod. Drags seem to be about equal. I like the idea that you can set the drag and strip line by hand but set the hook and still have enough tension to hold the fish.
I have a Wally and I really don't mind the line being out further from the rod ..... I have my handle on left but turn reel handle the right way.....a lot of times when I am single poling I am holding that line in my fingers anyway
You can reverse the Wally to get the line closer to the rod. but still have to reel backwards.Quote:

may be cheaper here now , Clay's bait tackle had them last spring when you could not even get them from B-N-M DIRECT . That supply demand thing .:biggrin addiction is a terrible thing !:Rofl
Got one I haven't lined yet....looks like it will be nice and lite.
fixing to get me 4 or 6 :biggrin
They are reversible. Google them, theres a u tube that showsyou how to reverese them.
Went on ebay and ordered one of these. Looks just like the B&M.

Will see how it is when it comes in. Beat the 15.00 I payed at B&M. Thanks to ifish4reds for posting link.
Looks and sounds like the same,with the sprag bearing an all. Just closer to the rod, which makes it nicer. Good job Cray
Here's the link to switch it over to left hand.

I got these at Academy sports and like them better. I had the BnM and they kept tearing up. Last time I was at Academy they had an even smaller reel but I didn't feel like paying the money. Looked like it would be great for a single pole. Small/compact. Little rascal.

u must be talking about bucks old plastic reels. I have been thru hundreds of those things. And I still use them. But this new reel the mini reel is the small one ur speaking of. It's alot better fit for me than that big ol Wally reel. And it's pretty much impossible to tear up. It's made from a durable material.Quote:
