=Matt 5.0= Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Welcome to BR... I would recommend a Pfleuger President. Or, save up some more dough and get a Daiwa Tierra. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted February 16, 2011 Super User Posted February 16, 2011 Daiwa Exceler, I have used and owned Tierras, Capricorns, and Advantages from Daiwa. Presidents, Supremes, and Medalist's from Pfleuger, all of them cost more (except the President) than the Exceler, and none of them IMHO offer any thing the Exceler doesn't for less. Hard , for me, to justify spending more for cosmetic frills like the fancy finish on the Tierra, or the air bail on the more expensive Daiwa's. And the Pfleugers..............I was a fan once, but once they start to wear a little and get a little dirty, they get noisy and rough, and you can't bring them back. Cheaply made to offer a mirage of high performance at low cost. Quote
pasadenafishin Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 The shimano sedona or symetre would be your best bet. Any shimano over $40 bucks will be a good reel Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted February 16, 2011 Super User Posted February 16, 2011 Any spinning reel in the 50-$100 range will give the performance needed for light duty freshwater fishing. Only suggestion I would make is to take your rod and put several reels on it to see which feels the best, and grabs your eye, brand is not nearly as important as long as the reel is smooth with a decent performing drag.

Delaware Valley Tackle Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I agree, It's almost hard to go wrong with any of the name brands at your price point. IMO the biggest bang for buck at this level is the Pfleuger President at <$70 on sale. Quote
zero limit Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Strong, smooth, silent and reliant...Shimano Symetre.8-) x2, In the 3000 series Quote
ChiCityBasser Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I recommend the Daiwa Exceler or Cabelas Prodigy reel both should be less than <$80 online. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted February 16, 2011 Super User Posted February 16, 2011 Any of the name brands in that pricing area should give you good service. Quote
MArnold Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Pflueger President is a good reel for the price, except the metel handle shaft gets cold on my fingers in the winter. Quote
Josh Bassman Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Pfleuger President. Great reels. Quote
