Post by: Wolfie729 on July 14, 2014, 08:31:02 PM
Ok guys looking at buying a new reel for strictly skip casting jigs looking at either a tatula type r or a qauntum exo whats your thoughts? Also I'm open to suggestions for reels! Also what gear ratio would you recommend

So for jigs and docks, I would think the faster the better to pick up slack and try to get them out of trouble. Fish under docks tend to pickup and run.
I have a quantum exo that I'm not using. Don't know what the gear ratio is - would have to look. Send me an email at terrybone@comcast.net if your interested. 1year old - I'd part with it for $175. Nothing wrong, works great - just trying different reels this year.

Did you like the exo be honest and is it left handed?

I did like it but I'm just getting down to a couple brands. It is right handed and 5.3:1 ratio

I love my tatula's, they cast amazing and for the price seem to be a steal. Just an FYI, there is virtually 0 differences between the type R and the regular, the dress up kit isn't worth the price in my mind.
