Daiwa Regal LT vs Prorex X LT
Been fishing all my life, just haven’t bought anything expensive, been using a Lews rod and reel combo for years and now wanna step up the game a bit.
I mainly am fishing small lakes with my brother generally for bass, walleye, and pike (the usual). Sometimes we go out on Simcoe and try to get some lake trout but don’t have good luck doing so.
What reel do you guys think best suits my needs? I usually just run a standard 7 ft Med setup (might look into getting a Medium-light rod to put with what ever reel I choose).
I was originally just gonna go with the Regal LT, but my brother suggested the Prorex X Lt for the same price. But from specs it seems the Regals got a smoother retrieve because of its extra ball bearing and faster gear ratio. I also saw a video on the Legalis being a decent option, which is about $15-20 cheaper than both.
What are yalls thoughts? Thanks.
