infidel23 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 hey guys....have a budget of about 100 (that's all the wifey is letting me spend after already buying 6 new ones already this year lol)..anyways looking for a good high ratio baitcaster for that price..just wanted to see what ya'll thought Quote
Super User Darren. Posted March 14, 2015 Super User Posted March 14, 2015 In addition to those, I also recommend looking at some Daiwa models like the Lexa. Solid reel for the money. Started out over $100 but it's under that at many shops now. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted March 14, 2015 Super User Posted March 14, 2015 LEWS has several good models right now that are at that $$ range. 1 Quote
sprint61 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Lews tournament mg $89 on eBay from American legacy fishing. 14lbs of drag 10BB aluminum frame little bigger spool and handle awesome reels for $89. I've ordered two and had no problems so no need to be afraid to order. Quote
junyer357 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 I second the lews. I have one in a 7.1 on my worm rod and want a few more when budget allows. Quote
infidel23 Posted March 14, 2015 Author Posted March 14, 2015 im glad to hear about that lews because I actually do have one of the tourney mg and cant wait to try it (still have 15 inches of ice) but I will probably just get another since u guys have battle tested and like em... thanks guys tight lines Quote
Alpha Male Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Gander mtn has a lews tournament SK for 99$. Its probably just a store specific model but is still has dual brakes and the extended length handle. Almost considered one for me. Quote

This reel flew under the radar for while, but its an absolute workhorse with a magnetic braking system. I don't know how and why this is but my reel has become smoother over time. This will be my 4th season with mine. The only thing I would do different with my reel is replacing the stock handle with a 90mm HawgTech. Quote
