ike8120 Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 I am looking for a reel(100 bucks or less) to mate up with a Dobyns 7 Fury 702SF. Quote
The Bassman Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Daiwa Fuego, Excelor, or Legalis LT. 2 Quote
Super User Spankey Posted February 20, 2019 Super User Posted February 20, 2019 Shimano Nasci, replaced the Symetre the other year. Shimano guy told me had something to do use of the name “Symetre” copyrights. Just as good, I think better, not cheaper by any means. 1 Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted February 20, 2019 Super User Posted February 20, 2019 I put a BG1500 on mine. Using light braid so I still had to lay down some backing on it so I wouldn't be spooling 300 yards of braid. 1 Quote

Tough to give or push your opinions. Everybody has their own gigs. Easy to be opinionated on a sight like this. Personally for years I’ve been a St. Croix and a Shimano guy. Have no complaints. My last few setups have been Abu Garcia. I like that they put out rods with moderate and moderate fast tapers that are not hard to find. I bought not the highest end of their reels but the Revo series and they are fine. Quote
TBAG Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 I've got a Stradic Ci4+ paired up with a 702S Sierra I use strictly for Ned Rigs. If you keep your eyes open you can buy a gently used one for ~$150. Other than that I'd recommend the Nasci 2500 or I've heard tons of good things about Daiwas offerings around your price range.

Super User MickD Posted February 20, 2019 Super User Posted February 20, 2019 I've had so much success with anything Daiwa lately that I would go Daiwa. Since Ned fishing is a very "lightweight" technique, I would go no bigger than 2500 size, could go smaller. 2500 is a good all around size that can be repurposed to many other techniques. 2 Quote
BigAngus752 Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 I am a big fan of the Daiwa Fuego as a great reel for the price. My Ned rig rod has a KastKing Sharky II size 2000 on it and it's very nice for being so inexpensive. I will probably give the new Sharky III a try. 1 Quote
junyer357 Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Pflueger supreme. I have the same rod i, the champion series with that reel. 1 Quote

Quarry Man Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 there are lots of good options. Cant go wrong with a Shimano/daiwa/pflueger. I would pick the one from each brand you like the best/fits your budget, and look at the differences between the three and pick which ever one you think is best for you. you are going to get a decent reel whichever way you go. 1 Quote
EWREX Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 pflueger supreme 3000 - i have the exact same setup and it's perfect Quote
FordsnFishin Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Going to be hard to beat the tried and true pflueger president for $50. I own 6 of them and love them. Quote
ike8120 Posted February 20, 2019 Author Posted February 20, 2019 Thanks to everyone for the feedback Quote

Super User MN Fisher Posted February 20, 2019 Super User Posted February 20, 2019 The 30 would be a good, all-around reel. The 25 has a smaller spool and only holds 90 yds of 6# mono where-as the 30 holds 145yds of 6# or 130yds of 8#. 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted February 20, 2019 Super User Posted February 20, 2019 Shimano Sahara FI, 2500 is a good reel under $100, $80 @ TW. Tom Quote
Jcj90 Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 I have a nasci 2500 on my fury 703. Broke my Stradic which was on my 702 and I picked up a $30 Shimano sienna to use for the time being and I haven’t taken it off the rod in a year and a half. Great budget reel 1 Quote
Russ E Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Ned rig was made for budget equipment. KastKing sharky III. Low cost. (around $50.00) Very smooth and the slow gear ratio works great with the midwest finesse retrieves. 1 Quote
ike8120 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Posted February 23, 2019 I know I will get blasted for the reel I just purchased , but I had to see for myself. I bought a KK Sharky lll 2000 for under 50 bucks with, no tax, and free shipping. Only time will tell. Quote
Glaucus Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 A Pflueger in your price range. Size 25. You want the lightest line you can get away with and the slower the reel the better. 30 is too big for this technique. Quote
