Nosoup4u Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I'd like to buy someone a baitcaster for a present. What's a good one for under $100 Quote
crankbait2009 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 You can't go wrong with a Bass Pro Shop Extreme Baitcaster. They are very good reels. The reel goes for I think $60 but you can buy an Extreme Combo for $100 on sale. Highly recommend 1 Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted March 8, 2012 Super User Posted March 8, 2012 The Shimano Citia CI200E is on sale at GM currently for 80. Price and feature wise it compares to most in this price range. Quote
riskkid 2 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Can't go wrong with a Pro Qualifier. Citica is also a great choice if you get one under 100. I have both and they both work very well for me. Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted March 8, 2012 Super User Posted March 8, 2012 The Lews speed spool, but this is hard if you aren't into fishing equipment due to the similarity of their reels names but this reel retails for $89 or $99. I also give a big thumbs up to the Quantum Kinetic, not the new one for $99 but the older silver model. Cabelas has them on sale right now for $69.99, this reel was $119.99 when I got it and I have mine foe 3 years of hard use. If I didn't need some other stuff right now I'd buy 3 or 4 of them, a good reel in my book. Quote
Crankenstein Crony Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Lew's Speed Spool is hard to beat! Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted March 8, 2012 Super User Posted March 8, 2012 Theres a $30 rebate for Citicas until April, I've never fished a Citica G but the E is a fine reel. Other than that, I'd recommend the Pro Qualifier Quote
dwtaylor Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Personally, I would look at buying a used reel here on the flea market forum. You can find reels that normally retail much more at a good discount. For the money, I believe a used Curado B would be your best bet. People still swear by them today. Also, keep a look out for those citica E reels too, they are great reels for the money. PS...I am a revo guy myself, but my collection does include a couple curado e, a curado b, and a citica e. Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted March 8, 2012 Super User Posted March 8, 2012 Pro Qualifier. Will last a long time, and its not junk. Quote
Phranchise1213 Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Id like to add that I would have put down citica (I own both but like the citica a little better) but I thought you meant under $100 msrp. I would definitely pick up the citica if you can find it sub 100 bucks. Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted March 9, 2012 Super User Posted March 9, 2012 The citica at GM are the E series reels, not eligible for the $30 rebate, but a good deal nonetheless Quote
Super User bowhunter63 Posted March 9, 2012 Super User Posted March 9, 2012 Another vote for the pro Qualifier. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted March 9, 2012 Super User Posted March 9, 2012 If I used RH reels I would be all over those $80 Citica E's at Gander Mtn. They are, IMHO, tough to beat at there full price, and nothing can touch them at $80. Quote
pussiwillow Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 bass pro quilifier! have several of them had them for over a year now and handle the abuse very well Quote
