Curt Snow’s Bass Fishing Blog

After many weeks of research and development, my new fishing reel review site is almost ready to roll and be launched!

ReelReporter.com will feature reviews of hundreds of different brands, styles and models of reels from all of the major manufacturers.

Actual user feedback from real anglers will highlight each reel model, providing unbiased and legitimate reel reviews. Each reel will also feature a rating of 1 – 5 stars, based on the sum/average of the feedback provided by actual buyers of these products, providing readers with instant access to valuable information about each reel.

These things alone will save you a lot of time researching and digging around on the web.

As soon as the site is launched and live I will post a new mesage here letting you know.

Stay warm,

I am currently in the process of creating and building a brand new website that will be devoted 100% to giving ratings and feedback on bass fishing reels, directly from users of the reels themselves.

The new site will be located at ReelReporter.com and will feature dozens of different brands and model reels, with short reviews, specs, etc.

Brands of reels that will be featured will be Shimano, Abu Garcia, Daiwa, Penn and many others.

Some of the models will include the Curado, Spirex, Revo and many more… too many to name here.

The site will consist of photos of each reel, as well as actual customer reviews and testimonials.

The time frame for the completion of the site isn’t clear yet, but the bulk of it should be up and functional by the end of February… just in time for your Spring fishing tackle research and shopping

Ordinarily I would tell you to go bag a hawg, but since much of the country’s lakes are under lots of ice right now, I’ll simply tell you to stay warm!

I write this post with sadness. The G3 HP series of boats has been laid to rest and discontinued. G3 is no longer manufacturing the HP series of boats, starting with the 2009 model year.

This is a huge blow to the high performance aluminum boat arena. The G3 HP boats were the best of their breed, in my opinion. I own a 2007 G3 HP 180, with a 150 HP Yamaha and I have to tell you that I like this boat a LOT. I don’t just mean I like it, I mean I like it a LOT. Get the picture?

My G3 HP 180 has proven itself to me this past season as a truly high performance aluminum boat, with all of the amenities of a full-blown tournament bass boat.

This boat gets up and goes and does it in style, with a dry ride and fantastic handling.

The standard equipment of the HP series boats was incredible, with dual livewells, hydraulic steering, livewell recirculating pumps, high-performance hull, dual rod lockers… and the list goes on. G3 HP series boats are an incredible machine, built with the avid tournament angler in mind.

I’m at a loss as to what I’ll do when it’s time to trade this boat in several years down the road. G3 is offering the Eagle series as the replacement for the HP series, and let me tell you very bluntly, I will not buy the Eagle series of boats as they sit right now, after having a boat like the HP series. There is no comparison between the two models. The Eagle series is lacking in many ways when it sits side by side next to one of the HP series boats. Don’t get me wrong, its not that the Eagle series isn’t a nice line of boats, but they pale in comparison to the HP series boats.

Anyway, for fear of rambling, I’ll wrap things up now, but know that I am greatly disappointed

Stay warm,
