Does anyone have this reel yet? I heard about this a few a months ago, and it has been released recently.
It looks like it could be a nice match for the TCB rod.
PRO50 Reel - B'n'M Pole Company
The other reel I thought about pairing the TCB with is the Ballo from Leland's.
Ballo Spinning Reel
Thoughts?
I would buy the best Daiwa or Shimano you can afford.
I say that in every “which reel” thread.
I've been very happy with the Ballo reel especially at that price. Good luck with whatever you choose.
This is mainly for a guest and travel rod.Quote:

Go with Daiwa or Shimano mid price 30/60$, they will serve you well.
I just bought two Shimano Siennas to replace a couple that were a little tired. For the $30 cost I think they’ll do just fine and have shown a smooth drag on a 5lb 1oz tilapia I boated a while back. No first hand info on the two you mentioned.
I field tested the Ballo reel. It performed as I expected a reel in that price range to perform. We had it on a TSS rod....which is virtually identical to a TCB rod. We boated 30 black nose crappie like you see in the pic....nothing less than 14 inches on that day....and we also had to deal with a ton of big buffalo....see the pic. The combo worked out fine. If that is your budget I would say go ahead and get it. But I think you would be far better served if you could spring for a Shimano Sedona....or as has already been said...the best Shimano or Daiwa you can afford.

Off topic here but I read those buffalo can live over 100yrs and average 80-90 years of age.Quote:
