GulfCoastBassin Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I have been itching to buy a new baitcasting reel and im on a budget. My 2 leading choices are the Shimano Caenan and the Abu Garcia Orra SX and i dont know which reel to buy. please somebody help me!! Quote
Fishwhittler Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 No experience with either reel, but I'd go with the Orra simply because it has a metal frame as opposed to the graphite frame on the Caenan. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted June 29, 2012 Super User Posted June 29, 2012 The revo s is on sale for 99$ which is only 10$ more than the caenen. Id give that a look over those 2. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 The Clearance Revo S is a good suggestion. You might want to consider BPS Pro Qualifier. For a budget reel they are a good bang for the buck. Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted June 29, 2012 Super User Posted June 29, 2012 Go with the Revo S as the others have said, for 10 dollars more it is head and shoulders above what you are looking at especially the Caenan as it has a graphite frame. Quote
GulfCoastBassin Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 Thanks I will definetly check out the Revo s Quote
dale.m Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I have the Orra SX 7:1 and it is a great reel for the price. The braking system on it is nice and it's very smooth. All in all, for a budget reel, it gets the job done nicely. Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Go to Americanlegacyfishing.com and get the Abu Garcia Revo SX. They have it for $99!! And I forgot to mention...sign up for the newsletter and get another $25 off. That gives you a Revo SX for $75!! 1 Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted June 30, 2012 Global Moderator Posted June 30, 2012 The Revo S and the Pro Qualifier may be considered a budget reel for a lot of reasons, but take it from someone who just started useing a baitcaster about a year ago....You can't go wrong with either Mike Quote
