Great Deal on a Reliable Baitcaster

There’s a great deal on a baitcaster that I have started using over the past few years and have been impressed with. It’s literally the Vexilar of baitcasters, not fancy but just does it’s job well. And for $80 right now it’s tough to beat.

I have 6 of these and they just work. Many people dog on them but they have never given me as little as a hiccup.

Exactly. Nothing fancy about them but they are workhorses.

Looks like most all the retailers have that reel on sale for roughly the same price (Omnia Fishing is a great retailer though). I haven’t used a Lew’s reel but have heard good things. I’ve tried them on at stores but feel too small in my hand for my comfort but seem like a quality reel at a good price point.

I do have one and it’s been decent. I prefer my Daiwa CTs though. The shape and size fit my hand better

I still love my old green Shimano Curados. Search em out on eBay once in awhile. The best for the $.

Of course there are better baitcasters. But not for $75. You won’t find a Tatula CT or Curados, even used, for less than $100.
