I Need A New Reel

[hawghunter00]

I have just sold a bunch of older stuff tht i dont use anymre and im looking to buy a new reel. I will be using it for jigs/ t rigs on a 7 ft mh f rod. In my opinion there are so many good reels for 100 dollars i think it s hard to go wrong i just cant seem to decide on one. I used to have a citica and i loved it but i dont know if the new ones are as good as the one i had 5 years ago? Plus it is a little more than i want to spend. Here are my choices so far.

Lews speed spool

Abu garcia revo s

Bassproshop pro qualifier

Citica if i can find one on ebay or somewhere for 100.

What do you guys say?

I bought the PQ here off the forums. I have yet to use it as its still in transit, but there were over 600 reviews on bass pro's website. 99% 5 stars. I have messed it with alot at Bass Pro and it feels super smooth.

Of your choices I have a Revo S and a PQ.

Don't know if it matters to you but the PQ has both cent and mag brakes whereas the Revo S has just the cent.

If it does the PQ is one heck of a reel for the money.

The Revo holds more line 145 vs 120 [12lb] and has 24lbs of drag vs 10lbs

For overall smoothness and casting distance to me the Revo S wins.

I'm gonna buy another reel soon and debating between another S [tried a friends SX and didn't like it] and a Lews.

I recently purchased a PQ and love it...... As a matter of fact, I'm running over to BPS in a bit to buy another one. It is smooth as butter, and casts like a dream. I'm throwing Senko's, Frogs, and Weightless Worms with it. I doubt you will find better at that price point!

I'm almost certain it's a Lew's SS in disguise.

Which one is a Shimano?

Both?

Lews speed Spool, the Abu Garcia Revo S, the Shimano Citica, Quantum Kinetic PT, or the BPS Pro Qualifier, those are you best bets in the $100 to $130 range.

Get yourself a Curado E somewhere.

Of the reels you listed I have a Citica and a Revo S. The Revo S is $99 all over the place now and would get my vote. You can't go wrong with the Citica either. I have never fished with the other reels.
