Best Spinning reel for light action for 50-70$

[Cris808]

Hey im looking into a new spinning reel for my new light action rod. i dont have that much right now so i can only spend 50-70$. right now imm looking into the pflueger president. any suggestions??

[roadwarriorsvt]

I've had good luck with Quantum, Daiwa, and Shimano.

[Cris808]

thanks for the reply do u have any personal favorites?

[BASSTRACKER]

i have a pflueger president and a trion and both reels do just fine. fairly smooth and no problems . i have seen other reviews that bad mouthed em but i have had mine for several yrs and both still trucking along. i think you really can't go wrong with a shimano i have a few low end ones and they are great, i can only imagine the upper end ones are better.

[Cris808]

yeah right now im deciding on the pfluger president or the shimano sedona

[roadwarriorsvt]

I favor Quantum, but my Shimano Sedona 4000 (?) hasn't ever let me down.

[Cris808]

i know this is cheap quantum but would this hold up?

You need skunked to chime in , he's the tackle Ho lol. Anti reverse is a must ! So many quality reels from so many companies it's tough to choose. Lews has always had some of the smoothest, quality reels for the best price. I have a quantum pt spinning reel its amazingly light and dependable, also a daiwa fuego and it's great. Bottom light find a line capacity you want and look for solid anti reverse good drag and light weight in a name you trust. Check the bargain caves cause sometimes they have really great deals on the more expensive reels.

Here's some reviews on this Quantum Triax Spinning Reel from the Cabela's website:

I don't have this reel but if I was to buy a new one, I might give this one a try:
Pflueger® President® Spinning Reel. It seems to have good reviews on the Cabela's website.

With so many models and choices it comes down to a personnel preference. I still use my Daiwa's BG series reels that I've had for over 25+ years and they still work great - kinda on the heavy side compared to all the new model reels now.

I have a Pfluegger Trion and it has been the best spinner real I have ever owned. I'm planning on buying another one. I would definitely recommend it.

You need skunked to chime in , he's the tackle Ho lol.

Haha, I lol'd on that one! I agree with some others who mentioned the Pflueger President. I have a 20 size ultra light and it is smoother than both my Shimano Stradic Ci4 and Stradic FI reels which seem to get a lot of unwarranted praise here and everywhere. For about $15 more, try checking out the Daiwa Exceler too. This is just my opinion.

Go see Brian, at Brian's Fishing Supply on South King Street.

He has a great selection of reels at the best prices in Honolulu.
These days the only reels I use are Shimano.

[quote="BASSTRACKER"]also a daiwa fuego and it's great. quote]
^^^ Best spinning reel I've ever used. Maybe tacklewarehouse still has some on clearance. Much better than any Shimano below the Sustain series. A little over your stated budget but totally worth it.

[Cris808]

yea my friend has it. its a great real but i dont have that money right now. maybe a little later down the line i will get it
