TyTheAngler Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 So I want to find a new reel to match my abu Garcia pro max rod. I mainly fish senko worms, top water frogs, and crankbaits. I want a reel I can spool with fluorocarbon and want to spend no more than 60. Quote

Blues19 Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 The H2O Mettle is a pretty decent reel for $60. 1 Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted December 27, 2014 Super User Posted December 27, 2014 The H2O maxim reel is pretty good too, its 50$ but I recently saw it on sale for 30$. Quote

Super User new2BC4bass Posted December 27, 2014 Super User Posted December 27, 2014 Thanks for the help. Just bought a diawa laguna reel on sale for 40$ at cabelas. 7.1.1 gear ratio. feeling very good right now That is why I don't order Online from Cabela's anymore. $30 for the reel and $10 shipping. Should be able to ship for half that. Quote

ChrisWi Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I still have my pro max combo its not a bad beginner rig the reels are fine, rods are trash. 1 Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted December 28, 2014 Super User Posted December 28, 2014 the reels are fine, rods are trash. Ditto. I find that most combos put together are either a bad reel on a good rod or a decent enough reel on a bad rod. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 $60 is a little thin budget wise for a quality bait cast reel. A lightly used PQ, revo S or citica etc will get you more bang for your buck. 1 Quote
