there are 2 reels i am not sure of the difference, maybe someone can shed some light, the wally marshall speed shooter reel example the green one in the size 75 vs the wally marshall signature reel which is black what is the difference other than the color

Chet, hope this helps you. I have 4 speed shooter combos and really like them.

hello john
i understand that. but what is the difference between the reels, is the signature reel a better reel than the green speed shooter
Signature series has 6 bearings and speed shooter only 4. Yes signature series is supposed to be better. I have a signature series and it’s ok but not my favorite. I like my Pfleuger President the best. Do some searches on this website, a lot has been said on them.
before you buy a reel , maybe go hold them in your hand and play with them a bit .
you can tell playing with a reel pretty quickly what is the best of the bunch .
my 2 cents
I have the Speed Shooter and like them fine and as Super Dave said he is spot on about the ball bearing statement. I own the speed shooter combos and that is how I got my reels. They perform great and I haven’t had any issues at all.
I too own Pflueger Presidents and hands dow they are the best spinning reels I own. They cost about twice the cost of a speed shooter but are worth it. If you are trying to decide between the Signature and Speed Shooter reels I think the signature with six ball bearing is the better of the two. I bought the speed shooter combos (4 of them) because I got them for 49 dollars for the rod and reel.
Hope this helps...
Don't go on bearing number alone. I have a baitcaster with 19 bearings. Should be tops if that mattered. 12 or so are in the handle. Back in the day I thought the red bushing 5000 was smoother than the 5000c.

I agree, I have some China reels that have 10 bearings and aren't as smooth as some 4 bearing reels. Quality of reels and bearings matter.

ps never tried a shimano spinning reel yet
The cheaper reels are built to be disposable. I have an older model Fuego that's 10-15 years old. Still smooth as the day I bought it.Quote:
