  • Excellent upgrade for the weekend angler!
Let’s not talk about this reel being good “for the money.” That makes it sound like you’re settling for an inferior product because you’re limited by your budget. Instead, just know that this is an excellent baitcaster! I recently decided to upgrade after fishing for a while with several Abu Garcia Black Max reels. The Black Max is a good reel (possibly the best beginner reel ever), but I wanted a metal frame and a little bit better quality. After my research, it seemed like there were several good choices in the $99 range, and the Fuego CT was one of those. But then I saw it on Amazon for $70, and I just couldn’t pass it up! So what does the Fuego CT have to offer? Well, this reel is basically a Tatula CT, minus one bearing and the T-Wing system. So you’re getting all the other goodies that come with the Tatula CT: an aluminum frame, the carbon drag, and Daiwa’s amazing Magforce Z breaking system! Throw in your choice of three gear ratios, and the Fuego CT is one of the best upgrades on the market for the weekend angler! Sounds good on paper, but what about the actual experience? Believe me, it’s good. The drag is plenty powerful for any bass you’ll catch. And it casts amazingly well. It’s super smooth, and backlashes are rare. In fact, if I backlash now, I know it’s because of some mistake I made, not the reel. Overall, it’s an impressive reel. Very palmable, light, strong, and easy to operate. And Amazon’s price makes it irresistible! So, now I have 2 of them! I bought the 6.3:1 gear ratio for spinnerbaits and chatterbaits. I loved it so much, I bought the 8.1:1 gear ratio for worms, jigs, and frogging. They are both fantastic! Buy one, and you will not be disappointed! Edit: I’ve used my Fuegos consistently for a few months now. They are still amazing! I keep moving them to different rods for different applications, which means of course, that I need to buy more of them! Love these reels! In my opinion, the best weekend angler reel on the market! ... show more

  • Best Baitcast Reel for $100 Or Less
IMHO this is the best baitcast reel you can buy for the money. I have reels costing many times what this reel costs, and in most instances you get what you pay for, but the Daiwa Fuego CT is the exception to that rule. This reel fishes far above it's price point. I should say that I have never been a fan of magnetic braking in a casting reel - until now. The new Magforce-Z is a huge improvement over other manufacture's magnetic braking systems. It's even better than Daiwa's original Magforce-Z. The reel's compact size palms nicely, it's lightweight and yet feels and performs very solid. And it is available in 3 different gear ratios to fist just about any fishing application. Yes, it is missing some niceties, like bearings in the handle knobs and a nice paint job like you will find on more expensive reels but I can't honestly find a single fault with this reel. And at the current sale prices here on Amazon this reel is a FANTASTIC buy. Whether you are a beginner to baitcasing reels or a seasoned professional looking to add some inexpensive but high quality reels as a backup you owe it to yourself to give the Daiwa Fuego CT a shot. ... show more

  • Good quality
I personally love this reel. I think that it is exceptional quality for the price. I have not caught a fish on it yet, but have spent a good deal using it. I paired it with a piscifun torrent med/m fast 6.8" rod which I think made a perfect pair. This is my first real baitcaster that worked, I had been given a used one by a friend that didn't work out. I wish that the button was easier to press, but overall I am enjoying it. Worth the price. ... show more

  • Excellent reel for price.
Very smooth casting and good spool braking. Took me a few casts to get dialed in and not backlash/bird nest but once I got used to the reel very easy and enjoyable to use. I think the only reason it took me a bit is I learned to fish with spinning reels and been using those for 30+ years and relatively new to using baitcasters. Otherwise an excellent reel and very much worth the investment. Have used in bad weather and have set down in the dirt with no issues as a result. Caught plenty of decent sized fish and this reel handled them well. My only mistake was that the first one I bought was right handed retrieve vs left and lost a few fish as a result. Highly recommend this one as it’s one of my favorite reels. ... show more

  • DONT BUY
My bait castor came broken and I was planning to take it to a trip to Africa to fish and when I got it was broken but I thought maybe it would fix by itself so I took it on my flight and I just arrived and I tried it And still has the same problem and now I can even return it cause I’m I’m Africa I’m hoping I can get a refund ... show more

  • Smooth Operator
This reel is super simple to setup and feels amazingly smooth. Paired with a Fitzgerald Vursa Medium Heavy and 12 lb flouro, the Fuego did a great job of handling my homegrown Tokyo rigs better than any other baitcasting setup I have. It casts better than the more expensive Shimano SLX and blows the similarly priced Kastking Royale Legend in the weeds. Anybody want to buy a few used reels? ... show more
