Super User retiredbosn Posted May 14, 2015 Super User Posted May 14, 2015 Getting a BPS PQ on sale is a good option at one time I had 5 of them, due to an injury I had to switch to lh reels. Glad I did too, so many deals, I've picked up nib quantum energies for 70 bucks shipping included. There are deals to be found just have to look. The Pro Quaffer is a great reel, quantum produces so many reels that overstock items abound you can definitely get a kinetic, and given enough time find an energy at that price, Quote
Bladesmith, Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 HardCoreBassin made a good point. I have a Silver Max that I have used pretty hard for 2 seasons and it has given good service. It is a pretty good reel for the money. Quote
Nstd Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Daiwa lexa! I have three and haven't failed me yet. I fish both fresh and salt on them. 1 Quote
Super User ChrisD46 Posted May 14, 2015 Super User Posted May 14, 2015 For $50 brand new ( and many times less than that) the h2o mettle can not be beat. ^^This^^ ... I have three of them - awesome reel for the price and often go on sale for $39.00 1 Quote
Super User FryDog62 Posted May 14, 2015 Super User Posted May 14, 2015 You'll hear lots of one-off opinions on what to buy - which is fine but it's just one opinion. Check out the Bass Pro Shops "Tourney Special." $50 and it has 50 customer reviews on it with an average rating of 4.7 out of 5.0. I bought one for the heck of it on a rod I don't use much. Out of curiosity I strung it up this spring and have ended up using it as much or more as my other set ups. Actually a nice reel... most importantly a lot of other people have tried it out too and seem to really like it. Look up reviews on other reels and not many are rated this high, and those reels are much more expensive. Just my .02 Quote

tnt2671 Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 You can usually find a Daiwa Lexa 100 for around $60. I've got one, it's a nice reel. for that money lexa all the way! Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted May 15, 2015 Super User Posted May 15, 2015 I said the Caius, but sometimes they have the BPS Pro Qualifier on Sale for 70 bucks, and it's a better reel than the Caius. The Lexa if you can get it for 60 is good too. Quote
