Fish Fast Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I am looking for a nice spinning reel for a lightweight setup. Price range for the reel is around $120. Throw some suggestions out there. Seems like the pfleuger president comes up a lot. What else? Quote
vanquish Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I have 3- Stradic 1000 reels and can't say enough good about them. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted August 8, 2009 Super User Posted August 8, 2009 Check out the pfleuger supreme for under100.00 . Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted August 8, 2009 Super User Posted August 8, 2009 I have all 3 and would say for a small spinner it makes little difference which one you buy, they're all good. I think the stradic is the best, however a bit more in price. Any reel you buy you'll be satisfied. Quote
Flywatersmallie Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Daiwa Tierra, Pflueger President XT, Shimano Sahara or Symetre. I have all of them, like them all. Of late, the Sahara has really become my favorite. I do love the Tierra though. Quote
Use ONLY Stren Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I own two Presidents a 6735 and 6720 and they are by far one of the best spinning reels under 100 bucks. But if you have the money get a supreme. ;D Quote
MitchIsFishin Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Presidents, very nice reels & worth the money. Abu Cardinals (500/600 series), definitely worth the $$$ & overbuilt. Of course you have Shimano & Daiwa. Now, that said, I have fished the crap out of a Sedona over the past two weeks, and it only seems to get smoother. Why? Don't know, but it seems to be improving. It's a cheap reel, but others have said well worth the money. I'm not pushing it, it was a gift, but it is getting better, hmmmm. Go to a well stocked shop & play. You'll find it. ;D Quote
mrlitetackle Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 how light you wanna go?? i have a shimano sahara 500 size and love the thing, its amazing!!!! ive got suffix braid (2/6) on it with a Fish eagle II 5'6" UL..... its a little powerhouse of a reel that wont let you down..... ...here's my proof.....

Super User Hammer 4 Posted August 9, 2009 Super User Posted August 9, 2009 Another vote for the Shara, I have the 2500, and love it..Tough to beat for about $80.00 Quote
seyone Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Nice bass mrlitetackle but where are your pants? Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted August 9, 2009 Super User Posted August 9, 2009 Great fish Mrlite, No 65lb braid on a 20lb class rod, with a b/c capable of reeling in a spinner shark, hmmmmmmm. That's what I call real fishing! Quote
tnbassfisher Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Nice bass mrlitetackle but where are your pants? My thoughts exactly. Quote
Dave T. Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 I picked up a brand new Pflueger Supreme for $80. I wanted a high speed retrieve. Pretty darn nice reel for that price. If you don't mind a slower retrieve speed, I would go with a Tierra. Extremely high quality reel for the price... which you can probably find for $120 Quote
mrlitetackle Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Posted by: seyone Posted on: Today at 12:07amNice bass mrlitetackle but where are your pants? ....i fish naked. no for real though, they're there.... just riding a little low, i didnt have a belt (or forgot it at least that day!). Quote
catchbig0bass Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Nice bass mrlitetackle but where are your pants? Hmm you see a fish which is in the foreground a monster at that and you take the time to wonder where his pants are? Its almost like the picture where theres a smoking hot chick in the foreground in a bikini and theres something totally weird in the way background and it states if you see the background image then you are totally .... (family site) but you get the idea. Quote
vatech Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 I'm saving my money for the Stradic CI4 pending good feedback/reviews from members. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 10, 2009 Super User Posted August 10, 2009 I'm saving my money for the Stradic CI4 pending good feedback/reviews from members. Well, although that suggestion has nothing to do with this question, I'd have to agree! Save some money and put off the purchase until next spring. 8-) Quote
Scorpio Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 I would recommend a Sahara. It is good for a good price. I have had line twist problems with my Pflueger President and Supreme. I know numerous people that have no such problems (and they will say I am crazy). I close the bail by hand, etc., and still have issues. I now fish both my Pfluegers with braid and a 2.5-ft mono shock leader. This has basically solved the problem. Quote
