Need a reel under $150

[AbuGarcia-4-Life]

Ok I have been looking at the Citica, Revo S, Quantum Kinetic, And maybe a Quantum Reax I know they are gonna peform about the same and it is all about the looks or company I want and I love the color white in a reel so im gonna pair these reels with a Varitas, so what reel would you buy?

[Nick94]

I've heard that Revo S is quite the reel.

[KYntucky Warmouth]

I have had 2 Revo S reels, both were subpar for their price, they were rough, didn't cast very good, and felt labored on retrieve.  I would say go for the citica, I've had one for a while and really like it.  I've not used the quantums but I have a code and have really enjoyed it.

the citica is reel nice.  Check out the curado if you're looking to buy a shimano reel because on ebay you can get a new curado for $145 shipped which is an awesome deal.

[AbuGarcia-4-Life]

Well I can get Citicas for $85, Kinetics for $80, Curados $130 so im gonna keep it under $100 for my first combo cause all my combos right now are borrowed except for my Cruxis and all those prices are wholesale NEW!!!!!

[KYntucky Warmouth]

If you can get a Curado for 130, that's where it's at.

[Big Tom]

I would say the Citica is the best choice here if you are keeping it under 100.  They are decent reels.

[hookingem]

I'd like the link to a 130$ new Curado?

[Boogey Man]

Having used both a Revo S and Citica, my vote would be for the Citica. I do have a Catalyst, which is a step up from the Kinetic but still favor the Citica.

I get em wholesale cause my dad is a dealer so I have no link and I think ill buy a citica then a Curado maybe

[cBooms@SML]

what about those new wright and mcgill skeet reese reels? i saw the new line he has comin out of spinning and casting reels and they are $99

[AbuGarcia-4-Life]

Never heard of them but I doubt they are better than a Shimano but ill take a look

[KYntucky Warmouth]

I wouldn't bother

[AbuGarcia-4-Life]

Yea I couldnt find em and a Fly Fishin company making Bass gear? Id stick with Bass companies

[smallwatermayhem]

Curado E7 would be absolute best, but the Citica would work well too.

[southtexasbassin]

Revo S!!!

[AbuGarcia-4-Life]

Im gonna get a Citica for now and im probably gonna get a Varitas to pair it with thx for everyones input

[flippin and pitchin]

Tackle Warehouse has the Revo STX on sale for 139.99.  That would my choice.  I have both STX and S and would spend the few dollars more for the STX.

My friend keeps telling me that the Citica sucks and he has sent 4 back to Shimano, he is also sayin that I should Go with Abu Garcia instead of Shimano cause Abu's lower end stuff is way better.

[Pieman]

Look into the Browning Citori. I just bought one for use as my backup and it has replaced my Abu as my primary now.

I would question the friendship of anyone making such a statement.

I love my Basspro Pro-Qualifier combos for $189 or so...  Edwin Evers uses them.  They got great features for the price-  Not sure what the reel is by itself, but probably not a lot. 

[Slip Gun]

I had both a Citica E and a Revo S. I gave the Revo S away and still use the Citica E daily. Buy the Citica
