    Need to purchase a couple new spinning reels this year. Looking for a $60 max price tag a piece, and it must come with a spare spool.

    Anything better on the market than the Pflueger president? I have never actually owned a Plfueger reel but have never read anything bad about the president series

    The spare spool may be a deal killer for that price limit.

    Yesterday I ordered a Daiwa Exceler from cabelas for $45, marked down from $80. Doesn’t come with a spare spool but a killer deal for a great reel. Something to look into. I should have ordered 3

    IMHO you can’t go wrong with a Pflueger Series reel. I love mine and would buy another in an instant! Spare spool will be tough to come by..

    Might be a decent option. Middle of the line Okuma and you can buy the reel and get it all shipped to you for free. I can’t say first hand about the quality of these reel but the reviews seem good.

    They are on sale now too and you can chose from the bait feeder option or standard spinning.

    The smallest size they offer with the spare reel is the AV-25b. If you are planning to use it on a light rod for panfish or walleye that is probably a little big, but for bass, pike or on a more stout walleye rod that should be a good option.

    Reel is $33.99 (on sale) and the spare spool is ($9.99) so you will have to buy a $6 lure to get free shipping )

    Been a pflueger guy for some time, presidents then purists. Both purists took a poop on me last year, president still going strong and that’s my channel rod for the last couple years. Good reel.

    I have several Presidents and Supremes. Good results with both. Probably going to pick up another president this weekend.
