Has anyone used both and have any feedback (pros or cons) comparing the two...

I picked up a BB1 last year and love it... looking to get another and just wondering if the 'Pro' is worth the difference in price.

The BB1 is a thing of beauty. You can cast 5 miles with it.

Totally agree on the BB1...

Wondering if anyone has tried the BB1 Pro

Also, I went with the 6.4:1 on my first BB1. Wondering if the 7.1:1 would be a better way to go... Or is it splitting hairs....

The pro is a little lighter with the carbon fiber handle. I personally believe its the best looking reel ever (never cared for the gold badge on the BB1). Mine should be in on Tuesday and I'll definitely give an update.

Use them on weightless rigs and they cast a mile
