Well I posted this last year and never got around to buying one looking for a reel I can cast small cranks and run bottom bouncers on the river with if any of you guy have one up for sale send me a pm I am looking to spend around 100 but would like to get one for cheaper but I don’t want junk
I’m in same position would like to see the responses looked at some good looking ones at JRs tackle yesterday.
Well how small of cranks are you looking to throw? 1/4 oz cranks can easily be throw with a baotcaster but you need the correct one with the right spool to do so. I.e curado or chronarch50 or diawa alpha or sol. Each of these will run you 150$+ give or take. You really will get what you pay for in the sub 100$ reel baitcast class. A graphite frame is commonly used on cheap casting reels and when under a load, the frame will flex amd cause it to not work correctly over time.You could probably find a used citica200e on ebay for around 100$.
Lews speed spool are probably the best reviewed bait casting reel around that $100 range. I got one late last season, so I can’t give much of a review on it yet, but check out tacklewarehouse.com for reviews.
I’ll throw a vote in for lews. Great reel for the price range.
What about the revo series? I plan on buying the revo SX when I get the chance, heard a lot of good things about them.
Revos are great casting reels.
