There are a lot of products on the market for bass fishing these days. But it seems as if I'm often guilty of finding something that works and then not looking any further. As the old saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
That's one of the things, however, that I love about my job. I'm forced to try new things. I simply can't write a product review each week on the same 5 baits I've used for the past ten years. I believe that makes me a better and more well-rounded angler.
Enter the Bruin Outdoors Paul Elias Legend Series Baitcast Reel (Bruin ELS). This is a product I would have likely never bought because I already have several reels I like. But it's a product I'm glad I got to use because it opened my eyes to a reel I would definitely recommend buying now.
Here's what I've learned about this unique bass fishing reel throughout my testing.
