I have fifty dollars worth of points on Amazon. What baitcasting reel would you redeem fifty bucks for ? I could get a Diawa Fuego for 25 dollars .

What do you plan to use it for? My reels are bought and used based on the intended technique I plan to use the reel for.

Multil purpose reel . About a 7 to 1 ratio .
jbsoonerfan reply :
Tatula, SLX, Lew's Mach 1, Abu Revo S, would all be very serviceable for your needs.
Russ E reply :
I have owned all of those except the slx. I have used the slx, so I will add it to the list.
they are all functional, but this is how I would rate them:
1: tatula
2: fuego
3: slx
4: revo s
5: mach 1
While it is usually a little more expensive the Tatula is far superior to the others in my opinion. The magforce z brake is worth the extra money.
the fuego is close to a tatula. maybe just a little less refined
I have only uses an slx a couple times, but it felt like a solid reel.
The revo s is not bad, but you can often get an SX on sale for about the same price. it is a much better reel.
In my opinion the mach 1 is Lews version of the abu silver max. I own 2 that collect dust in my spare parts compartment.

Some Fuegos are $75 on Amazon. With $50 off you basically get to steal it.

Wouldn't Lews version of the Silver Max be the $80 Laser reel?

I was comparing the reels according to how they handled in my hands.
To me the mach 1 feels like a silver max. . I do like the BB1.

Zillion SV

Thats the way I was leaning .
Shimano_1 reply :
I'd go with the slx or lews tournament mb. The daiwas are fine reels but they're too big, location of the brake dial is a no go for me, and not a fan of the t wing. The revo sx is also a fine reel. Love my slx reels tho lol
FishTank reply :
Curado DC. Works for everything.
Matt_3479 reply :
I would get another chronarch mgl or another bantam mgl

Yes, best all around reel I own.
GreenPig reply :
Another Revo Toro Beast 60 or Stradic Ci4+ 2500
Hammer 4 reply :
Tatula 150..just for increase in line capacity.
Bluebasser86 reply :
My last 3 reel baitcaster purchases have been a Tatula 100, Tatula SV TW 103HS, and a Tatula 150. If I had $50 off, I'd be adding another Tatula.

I can afford any of them but love a good deal . I could get the fuego for 25 dollars , with 30 per cent off coupon and fifty dollars off I can get a KastKing Speed demon for free .

I'm glad someone else is all about a great deal. $50 off a $200 reel is a good deal but a $75 reel for $25 is great lol
LonnieP reply :
I’d get one of the Tatulas or a Zillion depending on how much extra money I had to spend. If money was tight I’d definitely get the Fuego for $25.
keagbassr reply :
Id say anything shimano. However looks like Amazon has the mb for $95. Less the 50 thats pretty good bang for the buck.

The speed demon is a decent reel. It works well with heavier baits. I own one speed demon and one speed demon pro. They do pickup a lot of line in a hurry.
One is used for whopper ploppers and frogs. The other is used for Carolina rigs.
If you want to cast light baits the Fuego will do a better job.
MN Fisher reply :
Given my experiences with them - a Fuego CT for $50 or less...or a President for almost free.

Great price on a very nice reel.
Fuego CT for $25-$50 is also a great choice.
But $45 for a Tournament MB would probably be my first choice. I do love my Daiwas so either would work for me. 
Trappernewt reply :
This site costs me a pile of money. I was just reading this thread and thought “Man I have a new rod coming and $45 worth of amazon dollars to spend. A Fuego for $30 sounds like a great idea!!”
I need to take a break from Bass Resource!!
scaleface reply :
Thanks a lot everyone I greatly appreciated the help .I selected the Lews Tournament MB .Got it for 45 dollars .

Congrats. Be sure to let us know your thoughts on the reel once you've spent some time with it. Pretty sure you will like it.
scaleface reply :
I just spooled the new Lews up with some 12 lb Big Game and mounted it on a 7 foot mh rod . Tied on a 1/4 ounce jig . So as not to backlash on the first cast I went ahead and switched all the centrifugal brakes on , set the magnetic brakes at about 3/4 max and set the spool tension so that the lure fell slowly . . Stepped out of the back door and cast it out of the yard and into a neighbors tree . Thats enough casting for now .LOL
Tizi reply :
I would go Fuego CT. I have 2 Tatula 100s and I like the Fuego better.
BassThumb reply :
I'd just get a Curado K from eBay for $30 less that what Amazon charges, and then spend the $50 on Amazon household goods.
The Maestro reply :
If you're willing to venture into higher end reels I'd get a Bantam MGL. Be warned though. It will ruin your perception of what a quality reel feels like. It's just such a precise and refined reel that it makes even good quality reels feel like sloppy clunkers. Hard to explain with words but when you put one on a rod with a nice crisp action it gives the whole setup a super precise almost metallic feel. Clicking the thumb bar creates the most satisfying metallic "pinging" sound almost like a guitar string.
