Bass Pro Shops Extreme Review
Designed and built with the same care and precision that goes into every Extreme baitcaster, our Extreme spinning reel is sure to turn more than a few heads this season! Like its namesake, it's made to be the top performer in its class, a reel so smooth and reliable that you can keep your focus where it should be -- on the fish. The rugged one-piece aluminum frame houses an extra-compact gearbox that keeps internal gears and shafts functioning smoothly; the machined-aluminum spool is based on our exclusive Mag Spool Technology, which features a large-diameter spool that enhances both casting distance and retrieve speed, while reducing line twist and smoothing out the drag performance.

"I purchased this reel as a combo with a 7' MH Extreme rod. I was using 8# Flouro and it was not flying off the spool as I hoped. Also, the rod squeeks quite a bit when reeling."

"I got the EX2000B reel for Father's day, 2008, and spooled it with #6 Fireline Crystal, on a medium-light rod for smallmouth bass. It handled may bass, a couple over 5 pounds, very well and casts like a dream with this setup, longer than any other combo I have."
