These two are lightweight and low price, great as an entry level reel (the Liquid) and for more experienced anglers (Remix). They're US made, and seem to be pretty great without breaking the bank (under $100 for the Liquid; the Remix is under $160). The spools are interchangable between the two! -------------------------------------------------------------- Basic info: * Liquid is the more basic version of the two, running at $99 * The Remix is running at $159 * Liquid is pressure-cast * made in the USA * Liquid and Remix both assembled in Boise, Idaho * Remix mix between cast spool and mechanical.
