Best Baitcaster ~$100 2025

jparker98 reply :

As the topic suggests, trying to find out what you guys think is the best Baitcaster around or under $100. Looking to grab another reel and am having a hard time deciding...here are a few I'm considering.

BPS Pro Qualifier

Shimano Caenan

Daiwa Exceller

Open to other suggestions too, I'd prefer to buy new rather than used since I don't really know what to look for on a used reel.

hooah212002 reply :

I've heard LOTS of good things about the Black Max or Silver Max and you'd have money to spare.

Chris Wilson reply :

Black max is very good. Walmart sells them for about 50$. I'd suggest buying 150 yards of 30 or 50lb braid to go with it.

What more can I say.

sarcazmo reply :

For 100 I REALLY like the BPS Pro Qualifier.

If you dont mind buying used there can be deals to be had here in the flea market and on ebay.

rockchalk06 reply :

For 100 dollars the Pro Qualifier is the mac daddy. For 20-30 dollars more you can get some very nice reels as well. Abu Revo S, you can get some new or used Gen 2 STX and SX's for 120 ish too

thehooligan reply :

I know you said you dont want used, but you should be able to find a nice good condition used curado for $100 on ebay.

All 3 are less than or around $110. (I'm not familiar with prices for RH reels.)

I'm not sure why you don't want to get a used reel. It will save you money, and get you more bang for your buck. I recommend a Curado B or a Citica D; the latter (I have 2 of them) I like better than the Citica E.

Of the 3 reels you're thinking about; I'd probably only consider the Pro Qualifier. (And I'll take the Citica E over a PQ any day.) The Caenan has a graphite frame; and although I'm 100% Shimano guy, both casting and spinning, I won't buy a reel lower than the Citica. The Exceller I have no opinion of; except that it's not a Shimano, and not worth my time. Might work out well for you or someone else though. I have had ordinary to bad luck with non-Shimano reels, and after a lot of wasted money and time, I just stick to what I know will work.

LgMouthGambler reply :

Out of the 3 that you list, I would go with the BPS Pro Qual. Othewise, pay an extra $30 and get the Shimano Citica.

retiredbosn reply :

I own everything from a BP Pro Qualifier to a Curado E, for a hundred bucks the PQ is hard to beat. There is at least one guy on Ebay selling the Tournament Speed Spool the 150 reel for 118, and the tournament spool with just mag breaks for 99. Those are a deal from what I know about the Lews. If you wait a little while the PQ's will be on sale for around 70bucks, good luck

The Black Max is a great reel for the money. Mine casts a mile, and is smooth as butter. It's a great all purpose reel without breaking the bank.

jparker98 reply :

I'm currently using a Pinnacle Deadbolt Pro that I picked up for $17 at Dick's on clearance. I'm sure it's considered an entry level reel and I have 0 complaints about it so far (3 weeks of use), but I'm wanting to make a step up that's why I wasn't really looking at the BlackMax type reels.

It sounds like people using Shimano love their reels so maybe I'll hold off a little longer and grab a Curado or Citica (not sure of the differences between them if someone could explain). Only reason I was steering clear of used is because I'm new and wasn't really sure what to look for when buying used.

Also, do they typically have sales on fishing gear over the winter months? I'm not in any hurry to get a new setup since I probably only have a month of fishing left up here anyways so if I could wait till the winter and get more for my money that's an option.

MarkH024 reply :

If you have a Bass Pro Shops close to home, wait until the Spring Fever sale where you can trade a reel in for a discount on the purchase of a new one. I like shimano reels, but I also have a few Quantums that I really like too. I have one Abu C4000 for Musky fishing. I like ALL my reels but most of my confidence is in my Shimano reels. You will be happy with a Curado, that I assure you. So save some bucks and take advantage of the reel deal at Bass Pro next spring. You can take in ANY working reel to get the discount. Whether it was a $5 reel from Walmart or an antique from grandpa's shed. If it functions, they take it.

Ahh, that's good to know...I have both a BPS and a Cabela's about 45 minutes away from me...I'll keep my eyes open for their sales.

roadwarrior reply :

You can find some great deals on "gently used" gear in our Flea Market.

A Citicia E should run $85-$100; Curado E $115-$125. I prefer the 50E

with the smaller frame, but I own both this and the 200. I bought both of

the reels off the Flea Market.

jparker98 reply :

Looking around on CraigsList I found a Shimano Citica Bantam 200 for $50. Says it's new in the box and has never been used...good deal?

Arv reply :

Without knowing all the details I say good deal for sure. I've got 3 shimano's (2 Citica's and 1 Curado) and I like them all a lot.

LexBass reply :

You can find the Citica on sale for under $100.00 right now. I have two for spares and they are fantastic reels for the pric.

Topwaterspook reply :

I'm a Shimano guy through and through. For the money, I really don't think you can beat a Curado. On the other hand, last week I bought the discontinued Abu Garcia Revo Winch for $144.99. That price even included the shipping. I put it on a 7'-6" crankbait rod. Even though this is my first Abu Garcia I really like it. If you can pony up a few more bucks and can find this reel. I think you'll be quite pleased. Good luck and tight lines.

Bassin' gal reply :

I will probably be laughed off the board but my very favorite reel is a Pflueger Echelon. Hubby got it for me and he ended up loving it so much (and using it so much!) that I bought him one so he would leave mine alone. Watch for a good sale and you can get two for the $100.

If it works flawlessly, you like it and it makes you happy that's all that matters.

j.bruno reply :

Id check out a pro qualifier for that price range.

jparker98 reply :

Any opinions on the Shimano Caius? Was at Dick's yesterday and they had a combo with that reel and a Field & Stream rod for $80. Looks like it has a lot of the same options as the higher priced models, but more plastic.

They also had a Quantum Escalade HD on sale that looked nice, but wasn't sure about it.

Diggy reply :

Id rather the pq out of those listed in the OP

leave that shimano combo at dicks sporting goods on the shelf

retiredbosn reply :

IMO what to look for in a reel is an aluminum frame, quality bearings, and gears. I believe strongly in quality bearings and will buy an aluminum frame reel with 5 quality bearings over a graphite frame with 11 so so bearings even if the aluminum frame reel is twice the price. I will come out in the long run, the reel will last longer and perform much better

Arv reply :

http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CFPage?storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&mode=article&objectID=31583

This gives a good layout of what goes into a casting reel and what to look for. You won't find anything top of the line for 100 bucks but you can definitely get something quality (BPS Pro Qualifier, Lews Speed Spool, or something used). Like mentioned above, I would leave the combos on the shelf. You may get more for less in those combos but I firmly believe in getting something that will perform well and that will endure. If you're going to buy new I would strongly urge you to look at the PQ or SS, and if I had to choose between the two, I would choose the PQ.

jparker98 reply :

Cool, figured I'd ask...thanks for all the feedback. I'll save up a little more money and get a Citica, Curado or something on their level.

No way to buy a better reel for 50 dollars more, you would be very surprised with the quality and performance of this reel!!

UWBass reply :

Abu Garcia Pro Max retails for 80, comes in a high speed 7.1:1 R or L retrieve, is very smooth. Highly recommend that one.

Also have Lew's Laser MG ($80) for cranking reel and is very light, powerful and smooth. Great "cheap" reel!

kickerfish1 reply :

I am one of the few people that don't care for the pq. I have sold the ones I had.

For your price range my recommendations would be:

1. A shimano citica e

2. Lews speed spool

3. If you include used reels check the flee market or eBay for reels that would have been out of your price range new that will be a bit better quality and higher performance.

On a side note the quantum escalade is junk. I had 2 and now the gears grind beyond my liking. I got 2-3 years out of them with regular maintenance.

I would say to go with the Citica since it has centrifugal brakes. I've got two that I like a lot.

I am a fan of centrifugal brakes over mag, if I have an over run its mid cast. I have a stupid thumb I guess

For the money like I said the Lew's can't be beat, you want centrifugal braks and Magnetic, go here, this was what I replaced a Curado G6 with, and am glad I did, best $118.00 you can spend. I spent $108.00 on the one I got, if you watch I am sure you will catch one cheaper, but there worth the 118.00. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lews-Speed-Spool-TS1HL-Left-Hand-Retrieve-Bait-Caster-Reel-6-4-1-/140838890838?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20caa6ed56

I have 4 PQs that work very well with a lot of use. They are often on sale for $80. Whether they are the "best" in the price range is a matter of personal preference. They are what I spend my limited dollars on...

Man that Lew's Speed Spool SS1S for $80 brand new is pretty tempting...Then again they have the new Citica G's for $99...decisions, decisions...might have to break out the credit card tonight and order one of them.

I've got both the Curado G6 and the TS1HL and I really like each reel. If I had to pick one I probably would pick the Lews too, because it fits in my hand better, is a bit smoother and I like having both braking systems. In my opinion, either reel would be a great choice. But at 118 for a Tournament SS, I might have to consider getting another one haha. I'm pretty sure someone put up two 5.4:1 Tournaments in the flea market for really cheap. But between the Citica and the SS, I would choose the centrifugal brakes over magnetic. Just my preference though.

iceintheveins reply :

The PQ is hands down the best, I own five of them. In fact the old Curado E is only somewhat better, mostly with casting light baits, though the PQ does a fair job on that still.

jparker98 reply :

I found a Lew's TS1SH reconditioned for $85 shipped do you think that's a better deal than the SS1SH brand new for $80 shipped?

rmcguirk reply :

I've got the PQ. Don't have the others. But, if the question is can it handle light baits, the answer is yes. I have it on a Fenwick Elite Tech 6'10" MF (which is really much more like a MLF), and it handles unweighted senkos, flukes, etc. with ease. Obviously, your light weight set up depends as much on the ability of the rod to load up for casting.

Just got my Lew's Tournament SS TS1SH and man what a difference compared to the cheapy Pinnacle Deadbolt I had...this thing casts a mile and feels 10x better in my hand! Haven't actually fished with it yet, but did about 20 practice casts in the yard.

I was a little worried about buying one "reconditioned", but I have to say other than 2 very minor scratches you can hardly tell the thing was used at all.

What do you guys suggest is a good starting point on the centrifugal brakes? I just figured out how the cover comes off and found that they were all off while I was practicing with it earlier. Don't really know much about the centrifugal brakes if someone could explain the differences. Basically earlier I set the brake for the lure weight and had the mag brake on 5 and it seemed to be working quite well...so what would adding 2 of the centrifugal brakes into the mix do? Would I need to turn down the mag brake then?

Would I need to turn down the mag brake then?

1) When setting the reel for your lure, turn the mag brakes all the way off because it will effect the fall rate some, nothing drastic, but there still will be some effect. Then, since you're getting used to the reel, I would recommend turning it back up to 5 to start with and you can adjust it from there depending on lure weight, wind and how comfortable you are with casting. I started out around 5 but I'm down to 1 or 2 with the mag brakes for most situations now.

2) I would set the centrifugal brakes at 2. I believe in having the brakes set up evenly (since the Tournament only has 4 brakes you would only have the option of 4, 2 or 0 if you're basing your setting off this belief). I feel like 4 is probably overkill and I've personally never been able to free spool with 0 brakes on without catching a wicked backlash.

3) The way I understand the difference between centrifugal vs. magnetic brakes is this: Centrifugal brakes are going to slow down the proportional to how fast the spool is spinning, via friction. Thus it will have a greater effect when the spool is spinning fastest - at the beginning of the cast. Magnetic brakes work to slow down the spool based on a distance between the magnet and the spool. Magnetic brakes will have a greater effect when the spool is rotating at a slower speed - towards the end of the cast, pitching, flipping, etc. This is why, I feel, centrifugal brakes are better to have on a reel. Magnetic brakes are nice to have, but you can always use your thumb to slow the spool down towards the end of a cast vs. at the beginning.

Here's a sciencey explanation of the braking systems if you want to impress your friends.

I found it on eBay, I'll track down the username when I get a minute today. Definitely love this reel, granted it's the only "higher end" reel I've used so I can't compare it to a Curado or Revo. It has a very low profile and fits nicely in my hands, it's very smooth and casts a mile.

I can't really think of any cons after a few weeks of use.

The username would be great, did see any for that price when I checked. Think the best price I can up with was $101 which still isn't bad.

All the reviews I read on it were outstanding, don't think I found one person who didn't like it, which is strange, normally there are a few that find fault with something.

Not a problem, thanks. I bid on a recondition one he had but got beat. The bad thing is he is also in Mo & he charges sales tax so that runs up the cost. I did however find a new one for $118 with free shipping so that makes it only about $20 more. In the mean time I put in an offer for a TP1SH which is the Tournament Pro, I think it basicly the same reel but about 2oz lighter & has 2 more bearings, we'll see how that goes.

Thanks for the username much appreciated.
