gander mountain reels

[smoky97]

These reels look really nice an they are smooth as silk. I was at gander mountains an I played with one but I would like to know if they are any good ?They have a great warranty for one year . Just take it back even if it was your fault an they will replace it .

Have never used one, but I did pay with one on display a few weeks ago. I could give the handle a good turn and let it go and it would free spin for even longer than a Tatula. Didn't mean much, but still impressive.

Many gander reels used to be made by quantum, not sure if that's still the case???

Yea most are made by quantum. I had one before and it was the worst reel I have ever owned. The bail was absolute junk and it lost it's smoothness very quickly. I would stay clear of those. If you're looking to save some money on a reel look at okuma. They make some nice reels for under $100. Shimano spinners in the $50-$100 are also not bad.

Regarding the new Tournament reels & rods with the composite cork knobs & reel seat:

They're made by the same company that makes 13 Fishing / No. 8 Tackle Co.

If these are made by 13 Fishing, I wonder if parts interchange?
