colefarrow_ Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 I’m looking for a good reel around $175 or less. I need it to handle small-medium hard swim baits, flipping jigs, and maybe A-rigs. I’ve been looking some and have no idea where to start. Thanks- Cole. P.s holds 50# power pro, or 20-25 fluro. Quote

mcipinkie Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Look at Revo X, both bait casting and spinning. Generally around $100. Fine reels. That said, I use Lew's Super Duty's for punching and flipping. Never had an issue with the Revo's, but I am tough on power reels, and have never hurt one of the Super Duty's. Still in your price range. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted December 23, 2020 Super User Posted December 23, 2020 Shimano Calcutta B 200, Shimano Tranx or Curado K. The K would be choice. I tore mine down recently and noticed how well made it is inside, even compared to other Shimano reels. The main gear is huge. I looks like it could handle some bigger baits easily. Quote
