need to purchase a spinning reel $150-200 2025
dsqui reply :
So I looked through the best reel thread and everything basically is bait casters so here we go...I'm looking to purchase a spinning reel to pair with a dobyns 742 champ extreme I just purchased Ild like to stay under the $200 mark. I've ran lews on my other spinning setups but would like to find something lighter this is going to be a shakey head / drop shot rod...I am really leaning towards a pflueger supreme xt at 149.99 are there any other reels out there I should check out before ultimately deciding on one. Also pflueger guys the supreme comes in a 25 and 30 series is this the stAndard sizing like most spinners are rated. The 25 ipt is like 24 and the 30 is 32 ipt quite a jump leading me to believe the 25 is much smaller. I really don't like a big spinning real at all. All my other reels are 2000 class size thanks in advance guys fishcamp I can read your mind already lol but I know u can chime in on the actual sizes

Look at the Daiwa Procyon spinning reel for around $159. I would look at a 2500 or 3000.

As a Shimano fan, I'd be biting at the bit to get another
Stradic FK model. I prefer 1000 size, but a 2500 or 3000
is solid, too.
FWIW, the 1000 Stradic has 31 IPT...
For Daiwa, I'd shoot for a Ballistic EX.
Obviously Pflueger is a good choice, too.
Can't go wrong with any, I suppose 
And I'm shooting
at the top end of your range, eh. Ah well, it's what I'd do
with $200 to spend on a spinning reel...
PatrickKnight reply :
In the 200 dollar range nothing touches the Stradic FK imo. 2500 and 3000 are the same frame just the 3000 has a slightly deeper spool. A 2500 Daiwa is the same as a 3000 Shimano and a 3000 Daiwa is the same as a 4000 Shimano so compare line capacity not model numbers.

Thumbs up on the Stradic FK
dsqui reply :
Checking out a stardic fk and ci4 tomorrow guys thanks
PatrickKnight reply :
One thing to keep in mind with Shimano is if you buy off ebay they will not warranty the product. You may save a few bucks but I would rather buy local and keep my warranty.
dsqui reply :
Ya I'm the same way Ild rather spend a little more and support my lLocal shops

ive had many aluminum stradics but after fishing with ci4s and then the ci4+ i cant go back to aluminum on anything but a Heavy powered rod. i like Ci4+2500 for most applications. the JDM 2000 size for short/light rods.
you cant go wrong with either the FK or Ci4+ as far as performance IMO

I'm glad I haven't bought a CI4+ then, LOL.
My wife would be putting me out to pasture...
My FI, FJ, and FK Stradic 1000s will have to do
for now. Fortunatley I'm super happy with 'em!
WI_Angler1989 reply :
Another vote for the Shimano Stradic FK. I've got the 2500 series and it's a game changer for me. I was always a Pfleuger guy, and I still do like what I have, but Shimano won me over in a heartbeat. It just feels right. Not to mention the multitude of technologies that work to male them as durable and long lasting as possible.
Fishin' Fool reply :
Stradic FK 2500. I have 4 FJ & FH's myself.
Robert Riley reply :
Check a DSG or F&S, they launched a clearance sale, my store has a Stradic for $100. Other than that, I've got a Team Lew's that is pretty dope.

Find one of these on e-bay

ive own a FI, have had a FJ and know that the FK is only better. great reel for the money.
i think the lighter weight of ci4 reels could actually make some rods tip heavy depending on how you hold the rod.
i noticed in your posts that you like the smaller 1000 reels. i think either you use shorter and/or lighter rods or you hold the rod like i do with fingers north of the reel seat. if you do, the ci4+ will be dangerous. it brought several of my spinning rods off of the bench.
onenutinthewater reply :
Stradic ci4 is weight is an issue if not Stradic FI, Fj or Fk- all are great reels!

I have really wanted to take the dive on one of the FB Ci4 reels but I just cant seem to get them to balance right. Maybe this is just a sign I need a new rod too!!

I'm using KastKing Triton Dualis Revolutionary. Used it over the week in and worked like a charm! Had a few buddies try it out as well and i think they just bought one as well. I know they where looking at them online from the cabin lol..
Very smooth, drag was nice, caught a 3bl and 2bl trout on 4bl test line up in Bishop CA. I have two reels over $150 and i think this one just became my go to reel. Love it!! You can read more review here.

The size 30 pflueger supreme XT reel is not a big reel but the 25 is definitely small. The sizing is not really standard. In my experience, a size 30 pflueger approximates a 2000 class reel by other brands.

I bought my procyon on eBay for just under $100. Got it at the end of last season so haven't used it much, but I like it so far.

This is true. I ordered the 30xt and it's about a 25 size. For me, the 30 is perfect size for bass fishing.
