Pflueger President is hard to beat at $60.

Jake the Cake reply :

I have two Shimano IX reels (4000 and 2000) that you can find at Bass Pro $15 each. I've used them for 3 or 4 seasons now and never had a single problem. I also have a Plueger Trion which has worked just as well for a couple seasons, but at 1/3 or 1/2 the price I find it hard to beat the IX series.

I just purchased a lews speed spin Jason christie g2 from Wal-Mart. I used it this past weekend and really like it. It's very smooth and looks great.

WRB reply :

The new Shimano Sedona FE is a bargin at $70, a little above your budget.

The Mitchell 300Pro looks and feels nice. Good reviews too.

greywalls reply :

Define "a whole lot" of money. Suggestions @ the $50, $100, $150 and $200 price points (all, commonly regarded as "not a whole lotta cash") will vary...

"at the most 70 dollars"

Pflueger trion or president! Supreme if you could find one on sale. For your price range I'd stick with pflueger, I'm not a fan of any shimano spinning reels under the stradic.

lecisnith reply :

I have two presidents. Buddy of mine has a president and a trion. Extraordinarily smooth, good drag. Have used the pooh out of them. Most people seem to think the president performs like a reel in the $100 price range.

Funny, I had one of those $15 Shimanos and it was the worst reel I'd ever used. And I was used to $10-$30 gear back then too. Really put me off of Shimano as a whole.

I would second (or third or fourth) the President recommendation. Super reel for the money, and it's been that way for years.

MIbassyaker reply :

FFO tackle has size 35 Pflueger Supreme MGX for 64.88 (and check the banner at the top of their homepage for additional promo discounts):

I prefer a size 30, but a 35 should be good for an MH rod.

new2BC4bass reply :

You can also find some good deals on used reels if you keep an eye on the classifieds. All but one of my spinning reels were purchased off fishing forums' classifieds.

tander reply :

I also suggest the Pfluegers, take a look at the President Limited Edition. It's a little less weight and higher gear ration. Also a good looking reel.

Cmiller reply :

I have a pflueger president, supreme and president limited edition. The limited edition is a great value with a sealed drag, two spools and carbon handle all for 80 dollars.

Rbm18 reply :

I agree with the shimano Sedona . That would be my choice

PennBass reply :

Pflueger President

Bluebasser86 reply :

I have 4 or 5 Presidents. Can't really see a reason to spend the money on anything more expensive than that now unless I want something really lightweight. I've mainly put them on H2O rods and end up with a combo for just over $100.

Crestliner2008 reply :

Another vote for the Plueger President. Best bang for the buck these days. Just as good as any Shimano Sahara or Symetre today. Shimano just increased the price break on these two popular models. I've now become a Pflueger fan!

Hawghead reply :

I had a President, that for some reason just twisted the heck out of my mono. I know they are well liked reels, and my brothers all use them, but I couldnt get one to work for me.

I have used spinning gear all my life, and I have never used more of a line twisting reel. Took it back and went with the Sedona. YMMV

Jaderose reply :

Another vote for the President. I don't like spinning reels. I like my President.

Really? I'd have to say the 4000 model is a bit bulky, but outside of that I haven't had any problems with either of them. I guess for that price there's bound to be some inconsistencies

edfitzvb reply :

If you are patient you can get a good deal on a used reel on eBay. I have a Pflueger President rod and reel that I picked up for $50.00 that is brand new. I also have a Shimano Saros (Retail around 140.00 that I got for less than $60.00 including shipping from eBay.) With your budget it;s do-able. That being said, I have NO ISSUES with Pflueger spinning reels.

The Sedona is a great reel at that pricepoint and would be the one I would recommened. I'd actually even consider the Shimano Solstace that Cabela's has on sale right now for only $25.

I guess I should add that this was a number of years ago, so I doubt it's the exact same model.

Can't go wrong with the president. I've had issues with my saharas.

SMITTY0045 reply :

I would say the Shimano Sedona and Pflueger President. Can't go wrong with either reel

Delaware Valley Tackle reply :

The president is probably the best bang for the buck out there spinning reel wise. Down the road if you want to treat yourself I really like the Stradic ci4.
