With the Bass Pro Shops Extreme Baitcast Reels, you get all the tournament ready technology the big guys depend on, plus the confidence in knowing that your reel is perfectly matched to the kind of fishing you’re into. With six separate performance versions plus three left-hand models, the Extreme series easily covers the widest range of techniques and presentations. The Free Zone Braking System helps you make that perfect cast, regardless of the lure size or wind conditions! Power comes easy with the six-disc Teflon® glass/stainless drag system that cranks out up to 10 lbs. of bass-busting drag pressure. All the power is handled with a smooth 7-bearing system, featuring double shielded stainless steel ball bearings and one Powerlock™ instant anti-reverse bearing. Every Extreme is built on a strong and durable 1-piece aluminum frame with a free-floating machined-aluminum spool and titanium-coated line guide. It's finished off with our Recurve Handle and click star drag that moves the reel’s center of gravity inward for a sleek, balanced feel when reeling in your limit.

The 6 versions of our Extreme Baitcast Reel Series includes: Super High Speed 7.1:1 (Models ETX10SHC and EXT10SHLC), High Speed 6.4:1 (Models ETX10HE and ETX10HLE) and Standard 5.4:1 (Models ETX10SE and ETX10SLE) retrieve, all available in both right-and left-handed models; Flipping (Model ETX10HFC) includes flipping switch, 6.4:1 retrieve is ideal for flipping and pitching for bass and bottom bouncing for walleye; Wide Spool (Model ETX20HC) has increased line capacity, 6.4:1 retrieve and is great for heavy line and larger baits; and Lite (Model ETX05HC) has a smaller frame, 6.3:1 and is ideal for smaller baits and finesse situations.

I love this reel!

First of all, it boasts a one-piece aluminum frame which is difficult to find at this price range. That means durability. I have had cheap graphite reels warp in as little as a year's worth of moderate use.

Second, this reel has a click drag star which is again, not usually found in this price range.

Third, it is offered in 3 different retrieve ratios in the right handed model and 2 in the left handed model currently. I fish left handed and it is difficult to find a high-speed left hand reel and you will not find one at this price range.

Fourth, Bass Pro stands behind their products. You can buy with confidence from them.

The little things I love about this reel are the color. I like the green, basic, classic. I also like the BPS logo button for fast stripping which makes reel maintenance a breeze. The spool disengage has a nice soft rubber pad on the button which is another nice touch.

You can build a great arsenal of technique specific combos with these reels without getting that third mortgage.

I have 2 of these and they have performed well over the last few years. Smooth casting and retrieving and affordable price make this a good buy. Although it is a good reel, I would wait for the Pro Qualifier to go on sale , which they usually do a couple times a year, and get one of those for the same money.

I use to own several of these . The gears started striping out of them , come to find out they were made of plastic , this goes for the older 5 bearing reels , don't know about the 7 bb . Hope this helps .
