Recommendations needed for Ultra light reel

[Andy Taylor]

Can anyone recommend a cheap Ultra-light reel, for $25 or less? I do have a Gander Mountain store near me. Thanks.

Sorry, $25 won't get you anything but a headache. Scrape up another $15 and get one of these in the 20 or 25 size. An amazing reel for the money. Mine's going on 4 years old and hunreds of fish and is still purring along.

+1 on the Trions. The Agility reels don't look so bad either, but I've never tried one.

Trion.

[Andy Taylor]

Trion is the brand name?

[BrokenReels]

I believe it's the Pflueger Trion.

Yep! Just like the link above

For $35 I would also recommend this one in the 500 or 1000 size.  I've had one for a while now and love it.  And when I was researching it, I couldn't find a bad review on it anywhere.

I absolutely love my Daiwa Crossfire rig. Here is a link to the reel:

Thanks Dave. I think I saw this reel at Walmart a couple days ago. I'd rather buy it there if it's the same reel.
