Guest Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 shimano nasci is a good reel. Also the Diawa bg is solid. Phluger supreme also a good choice. Quote
kroberts9 Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 under 100.00 tough to do but I agree the shimano reels like the spirex and Sahara will do ya just fine 1 Quote
Berta Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Diawa legalis, best drag in that price range hands down Quote
Bucky205 Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 There are several good Shimano's in the $59 to $100 range, add a St Croix for another $100-$150 and your will fish with anything out there. If your going to try to save money do it on the reel and not the rod. Quote

Never held a Legalis but I've owned a Lexa and handled many other Daiwas. Good stuff. Though my personal favorite is the Shimano Stradic in a 1000 size. Extra drag handled by the palm of my hand And welcome aboard, @Berta. Quote
Smokinal Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Very helpful thread. I've been wanting to update 2 of my spinning reels and was wondering the same as op. Anyone have any experience with this reel? http://www.cabelas.com/product/fishing/fishing-reels/spinning-reels|/pc/104793480/c/104760180/sc/104837580/lew-s-reg-mach-i-speed-spinning-reel/2418578.uts?Ntk=AllProducts%2B&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Fspinning-reels%2Flews%2F_%2FN-1102842%2B1000005836%2FNe-1000005836%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_104837580%3FNtk%3DAllProducts%2B%26WTz_st%3DGuidedNav%26WTz_stype%3DGNU I'm not against the Pflueger President, just never held one; and I know I love my Lews baitcasters and I tried this reel in the store=smooth as buttah. Any feedback? For $45 seems solid. Quote
RMax Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I saw a 2016 Shimano Stradic Ci4+ on eBay for just $90. Figured I would just put that out here, as many people consider those to be the best. Quote

slimjim1135 Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I love the drag on the Mitchell 308 pro. I think the President might be built a little better, but between the two, I prefer the Mitchell. Quote
EllisJuan Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Every reel I own is a Shimano, but at that price point I would buy a Pflueger President. Quote
ThatZX14Fella Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Now I'm tempted to buy an Omega Pro spincast thanks to this thread. I just want to see how far they've come from the old 33's. Quote
