Super User roadwarrior Posted December 3, 2011 Super User Posted December 3, 2011 Geez... Where did this Abbadabbadoo/ Flooger talk come from? The new challenger is the Pinnacle Performa XT for $99.99 http://www.pinnaclefishing.com/shop/p-83-performa-xt-spinning.aspx#page=page-1 Otherwise the Symetre for around $89 or for another $100, the Stradic CI4.

MrsTomustang Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 The Stradic is an incredible reel. Just bulletproof and buttery smooth... +1... although I can't comment on the FJs..except I am not favorable to the Okumaesq white.. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted December 3, 2011 Super User Posted December 3, 2011 Bang for your buck, any Pflueger product falls into that category. For freshwater bass fishing most reels priced under $100 will easily meet the demands for freshwater bass fishing. If you plan on doing double duty with some light inshore fishing IMO the ante should be raised a bit. As a kid did your mother ever put veggies on your plate that made you want to vomit, even though you never tasted them? That's what happens to me every time I see a Symetre, I just wanna puke. Not knocking the reel, I never had one in my hands, I'm sure it's a decent reel. The stradics are really nice reels, I love the ones I have, but IMO I wouldn't spend that much $$ for a light duty freshwater reel. Quote
MrSwimJig Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 Lots of good reels in that price range, really hard to pick a bad one. But the President and Symetre are two of the top ones. Quote
