Hi Brad,

That's great news. Never even heard of these guys, but I'm going to look into them. Thanks for the post...

I was contacted by one of the reps from Midwest Outdoors who wants me to use the Ardent reels. Hopefully I'll get my hands on them before the 2008 open water season. If so I'll let you all know how they pan out.
Best of fishing,
Dan

Brad, been reading your post, I just signed up for an sponsorship with Ardent Reels, I've used two of the older models and man they are very smooth. The XS1000 is unreal you really can cast it a country mile without backlash! Ardent wants me to run them through the ringer for over 200 days this year to see how they hold up. Let me get these new ones in and I will post a report on all of there models if you would like.

Good Fishing Everyone

Don and Dan,

We should discuss setting up a formal product review for them here on Bassin' USA. Let me know what you guys think...
