Anyone got a good budget baitcast reel they like? 2024


fishing user avatarpauldconyers reply : 

I've got a reel that has gone craps on me and I am going to have to replace. Current budget won't let me but something nice so I am looking for a "wallet-friendly" option to consider. Will use it on my 7' crankbait rod or my 7'6" jig rod. If it affects your recommendation I use 40 lb Sufix 832 on all my stuff primarily.

 

TIA


fishing user avatarjeffo21 reply : 

look on Ebay for a new reel or a good used name brand reel. I have bought several from there and happy with one of them. I prefer Lew's but they fit my hand good. Some prefer Shimano or Daiwa it just depends on what you like.


fishing user avatarthedilettantedad reply : 

I picked up an Abu Garcia UltraMax combo at Dick's for $40. It is my first baitcaster, but am happy so far.


fishing user avatarJoshFromBolo reply : 

For cheaper reels, I would definitely  look at Abu Garcia. Specifically the Black Max which is 50 dollars or the Silvermax which is like 10 more dollars. Me personally, I have the silvermax and I love it, if you search them up though there is extensive reviews on both reels and they get outstanding ratings.


fishing user avatarratherbfishin1 reply : 

What is your price range? 


fishing user avatarRuss E reply : 

if you are in the $50.00 to $ 80.00 range a KastKing assassin or speed demon pro are not bad.

if you are looking in the $100.00 to $120.00 range,  an abu garcia revo SX or a Lews Mach II are both decent reels.

there are several others. These are the ones I own.


fishing user avatarnew2BC4bass reply : 

New or used?  Or doesn't it matter?  How much can you spend?  I'm assuming the lower the better.  New: (besides the Abu reels) quite a few guys here are liking some of the KastKing reels.  I've read good things about Sports Academy's H20 Xpress Mettle.

 

Used:  Could be all over the map depending on your budget.  Probably my best deal so far is a $250 reel for $65 that is is very good condition.  A steal.  :D

 

Once you get to the $100 range you have several nice reels to choose from...new.....and even more used.


fishing user avatarratherbfishin1 reply : 

I will also say go used... look on the flee market forum, you can find some good deals.

Diawa Diego CT on EBay right now for 70 bucks.  Done


fishing user avatarBoomstick reply : 

I have a Black Max and it's not too bad. While it retails for $50, you can find them on sale as low as $30 and they're definitely worth it.

 

I'd also look at Kast King if I'm on a budget.


fishing user avatarsdsc357 reply : 

2nd on the fuego ct. Wait til there is a coupon, you can get it for about $55.

fishing user avatarLionHeart reply : 

Lol, Diego.


fishing user avatarMike F reply : 

The lews American hero was my first casting combo, the tan desert camo one, I’ve since upgraded to tournament mb’s, but the reel from that first combo is a fricken workhorse and casts really nice in my opinion, it’s a little slower and lacks the fit and finish and some of the bells and whistles, but it does it’s one job quite well IMO, not sure where to buy it as a standalone reel but I imagine it’d only be around $50. I also had a black max, and in my opinion the lews hero reel is much nicer as far as performance and feel, only downside: it’s kindof ugly and doesn’t look good on really any rod lol.


fishing user avatargreentrout reply : 

KK Royale Legend baitcaster out of the box new 39.98 best seller Amazon is a compelling option...

fishing user avatarLead Head reply : 

Can't say enough good things about the fuego ct at its price point ($50-$60 on Ebay). Do a forum search and read up on it. Pretty much a tatula without t-wing.


fishing user avatarOregon Native reply : 

Kast King....Speed Demon


fishing user avatarCrankin4Bass reply : 

Fuego CT is a solid reel for the money. It's surprising how good it is for the price. I had a BlackMax as my first baitcaster. The Fuego is miles better. 

 

There is also the new Shimano SLX at $100


fishing user avatarTBAG reply : 

I'm a Shimano fanboi and most of my BC reels are Curado K's but I decided to grab a Daiwa Fuego CT last week when there was an ebay code, so got it for $50. I haven't fished with it yet but spooled it up and put it on my jerkbait rod and tossed a practice plug around the yard. So far it seems like it's going to be an awesome reel, especially for the price.


fishing user avatarburrows reply : 

If I needed a reel and only had 100 bucks I would get the shimano SLX...


fishing user avatarBassCats reply : 

Go check out the flea market. Someone is switching to left hand and is selling tons of great reels at great prices.

Agreed with the silvermax, the thing is an absolute workhorse. 3 years now with minimal maintenance (i'm really bad when it comes to maintaining my reels) and it still works like a beast. But like many others have said in this thread, you can find a Fuego CT brand new on ebay for 60-70 bucks and it's fantastic. I love them so much I have one in each gear ratio (the 6.3:1, 7.3:1 and 8.1:1), easily some of my favorite that I own


fishing user avatarBuffdaddy54 reply : 

I've got a Fuego CT 8:1:1 Brand New I will sell you for 55.00 plus shipping. PM me if interested.LEFTHAND RETRIEVE 


fishing user avatarGeekFisher reply : 

I love my new kastking assassin and Royale Legend Elite. I'm relatively New with baitcasters and can cast the RLE a mile. I had more trouble dialing the Assassin in but end up with good results with casting distance w/o backlashes even in high winds and this reel is LIGHT ! Both are comfy in my average size hands. They replaced Shimano's in my still incomplete arsenal !


fishing user avatarFishTank reply : 

It depends on your budget but I have liked my Shimano Caenan so far.  It has been a no-frills reel but it works and gets the job done.  I picked mine up for $60 on Amazon but I do see they are now priced higher. 


fishing user avatarshovelmouth83 reply : 

i liked the shakespear alpha. 6.3 i bought it close to 7 years ago and was doing good then the line leveler sprocket inside lost some teeth. i like it but i bought lews reels and they are my go to reel.but i am going to try some diawa. 


fishing user avatarhaggard reply : 

$99 Shimano Caenan with 6.3:1 ratio.

 

My first baitcasting reel, bought it a year ago knowing I wanted Not Junk but not over the top. Since then I've bought several "nicer" reels but last month thought I'd use it again for old time's sake. There's something about it that just feels great, so comfortable.

 

High enough quality to instill confidence, but low enough quality to not obsess over it. This translates to focusing on the fishing, not the reel. 

 


fishing user avatarJoshua van Wyk reply : 

The best reel under a $100 is without a doubt a Daiwa Fuego ct. You can buy this reel sub $60 on eBay and if you don't like eBay it can be had for sub $70 on amazon.  This really an amazing reel for what you pay!

There is also the new Shimano SLX at $100

I have both the fuego and slx,  in my opinion the slx is a more "refined" reel, but the fuego definetly out performs it and it can be had for half the price.

The best or one of the best ? Because I’ll take a casitas over a fuego any day I don’t care if that fuego has an aluminum frame. I’m not saying it’s not one of the best but it’s certainly not the best. One of the best options for 100 reel is the slx and it’s evident as one tw bestsellers.

Imo the fuego is the best. I've fished the slx, casitas, and the fuego and the fuego is my preference.  And the fact that I can get a fuego for half the price makes it better despite the casitas being able to cast a little bit farther. 


fishing user avatarNYWayfarer reply : 

Still no word from the OP on what "budget" means to him. To me it is something in the sub-$50 range. If that's what I had to spend I would get a Kastking Spartacus. This reel and the Kastking Stealth are what brought me back to baitcasting.

This one?

43207517_250795292303957_177093918364532

 

Too bad if the accent color is red I would buy 2-3 more. Anyhow I plan to get one more when next sale come.

My take on the SLX is pretty decent if you look pass that feeling of cheap black matte. The casting is just okay (compare to 70 and bantam) just like old VBS system where I have 2 on 4 off and spool tension pretty loose. The drag is okay but I can upgrade to cabbon drag pretty cheap. It feel more solid that those of Abu Blackmax but at double the cost.

The most important part and why I bought this reel is size and comfort. I can never find a reel that small and comfort to palm like Shimano. Daiwa Fuego is huge and heavy I don't mind those for moving bait but anything else that required a lot of shaking/twisting SLX win hand down.

To OP the best of me might not be your and the cheapest might not be the best option. Buying a reel just like small investment, you want the reel that suit you and last you for a long time and still hold some value when you wanna trade up.

The reason the fuego isn't one of tw bestseller is because who would buy a reel for $100 when it can be had for $60-$70 on Amazon? And I got my fuego on eBay for $47 with a promo code. This is cheaper than a kast king assassin and is a much better reel!

Well you obviously prefer magnetic brakes that’s cool I prefer centrifugal brakes and I cast into the wind no problem no backlash whatsoever and a further cast.

I feel like I can't get the slx to it's full potential.  I have 2 brakes on 4 off for almost everything and a lose spool tension.  It casts far but not as far as my Fuego,  I think I set up my fuego different than most.  I have very lose spool tension and keep my external brake on 7. 


fishing user avatarJ.Vincent reply : 

Figure out a way to get two different reels; you won't be happy swapping reels ; plus with the presentations you mentioned you would want a 6.3 to 6.6 for medium cranking and a 7.3 for Jigs/Frogs. 


fishing user avatarSmalls reply : 

I’ve got like 3 Garcia pro max reels. I think the reel is like $70, and the combo is $80. The rod is...meh. Better than a Berkeley Lightning. It’s a tough rod, just don’t expect a STEEZE. But for a combo, the reel is gold, and you basically get a free rod. I actually don’t understand how they sell the black max, when with the pro max you at least get a half decent reel for just $30 more

The lesson to take away from this statement is never pay full price for a reel. Even Kastking runs 10-20% off deals combined with ebay coupons make them practically a steal. My KK Speed Demon cost me $35 shipped and is still one of my go to baitcasters.

Budget friendly obviously doesn't mean $500. Most higher end reels can run around $300 so it would not mean that either. In this scenario I would say $80 and under. Most people had no problem recommending something in that range. Yes all people's budgets are different but when higher end items are around $300 I would think it would stand to reason under $100 was sort of implied.

I first thought my Assassin was harder to dial in than my Royale Legend Elite until I found out the centrifugal brake ???? I'm so dumb sometimes ???? Really got to RTFM here and then ! Its a mater of personal preference but I also like the matte black finish, and it's grippier than slick clear finishes, which help. Happy to read it held so far :)


fishing user avatarbayvalle reply : 

I would rather put money into a good rod than reel. After purchasing a KK Royale legend ($34) I liked it enough to get 2 more to replace some older reels and spend the money I saved on higher quality rods. The KK does everything I'd want a reel to do.


fishing user avatarBDR reply : 

There is no better bang for your buck than Kastking. Speed Demon or Assasin are my two fav Baitcasters. Or if you need a 5.x gear ration the royal legend elite.

Yes. Aluminum frame with graphite or composite side plates. Feels solid for $60.

Academy H2O Express Mettle MT2 : 6:3:1 , 1 piece aluminum frame , brass gears and 10 ball bearings for $60 but can be had for less on sale or year end clearance .


fishing user avatarNYWayfarer reply : 

As I mentioned previously in this thread, Kastking often runs sales.

 

If you click the Kastking link on the right side --------->

 

and underneath the Speed Demon advertisement click on the word fishing reels it brings up a menu of all their reels (Spinning and Casters) on that menu you will see a lot of reels have 10% off coupons and some have money off coupons, like the Assassin has a $15 off coupon available.

As mentioned earlier in this thread, all my BC and spinning reels are Shimanos but I picked up a Fuego CT a few weeks ago off the bay because it was under $50 and I needed another reel for a new rod I just got. It has gotten rave reviews so I decided to buy into the hype. I still haven't fished with it but it seems awesome.

 

I would have picked up a SLX but the LH retrieves aren't releasing until end of year. I've got one preordered and am anxious to try it.

 

But to OP (if he ever returns) I would recommend the Fuego CT.

I went for the Fuego CT in the 8.1 speed. I was kind of on the fence about it but Saturday was just walking through Scheels and randomly they had that exact model on sale for $49 and for that price I felt I could not pass on it. We have had a ton of rain around here lately so I have not gotten to really try it out much. I did sneak out to a local pond to just throw it a few times. I think my Lew's casts a hair further but not a big deal. Looking forward to trying it out more and playing with the settings.

You may or may not know this, but Daiwas have a very specific way they need to be set up for maximum distance.  I have mine with the spool tension set to where there is a little bit of side to side play, and I  start with the external dial at 15 and work your way down.

So your spool tension is the little dial next to your drag star. You adjust it to slow down your spool. With magforce braking systems that dial is supposed to be looser than normal. Usually you set up a reel so that the bait lowers slowly and doesn't overrun when it hits the ground. This works but you don't get maximum distance. Instead you adjust it until your spool just clicks slightly when you move it back and forth.

Ahh yeah. That’s how I do pretty much all of mine anyways haha.

I agree that it is a work horse. Sure is. I mean almost to the point off being better than "high" end reels. I disagree that it is ugly. I think it looks pretty darn awesome. And the plus side is that when you buy the reel you are supporting the military which is awesome for Lews to do.

I haven't tried his reel yet, but he was using my American Hero and he said the BPS reel is much smoother than the AH. FWIW, he just became a teenager and is in that moody stage where everything - including fishing - is now lame. But after using his new BPS reel he commented that he liked it so much he would have to get back into fishing a lot again.

It's $40 right now. The black Max can be had for $35 if you shop around. I have fished both these quite a bit, and they held up well, and neither will be a good excuse why you aren't catching.

own this reel...not the limited...got it bout a yr. ago...light...7 oz....fits in palm...ipt 30"...7:3...12 lbs. max drag...use it for bank fishing and on small private waters in a jon boat...casts well with minimal backlash with dual brake system...paid for it on sale 50 dollars no shipping charge... not as tight as other more expensive reels but should hold up well for my style of fishing... 

 

good fishing...
