Pitching Reels

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Looking for pitching reels for Dobyns 735C & 736C, thinking about Daiwa T3 or Daiwa Coastal both highspeeds.

X2 on the Steez

Core 50MG is another great performer.

Budget: Chronarch 50 (new model) or the Curado 50 (old model)

I have 2 Zillion 50ths with TDZ100M spools and Boca OS bearings and they are pitching machines.

I do have a couple Of Pixzillas on both of my 735s( silver one and the PX68) and they do a fantastic job at pitching beavers and other creatures..But the T3 has been a great pitching reel as well.. 8-)
