Your First Baitcaster

[Hobbes]

My first bait caster came from Pep Boys; I think; not sure the brand. Later in life I bought a few Ambassadeur Mag Plus, and 5500's.

Shimano Bantam Curado200B. I saved my money when I was about 10. Bought it at Sports Authority,  if I remeber right it was $129.95. My Dad thought I was nuts.

Same thing here, i was 10 and saved up and bought a Viento, $200 plus tax, my grandfather said i was crazy. That was 12 years ago and i still use that reel.

He thought?   



I don't have a cool reel to show you guys as my first. My first baitcaster was a piece of junk. No I take it back, it makes a great paper weight...
