This question is probably asked a lot but my shimano sedona spinner reel broke and its only about 3 yrs old. The bail keeps on coming apart when I cast. Ive been reading that baitcasters are really nice if you dont cheap out. I usually fish with plastic lizards or top water frogs and will spend up to 120$. Any recommendations on what reel to buy for my fishing style?

Bass Pro Shops Pro Qualifier, you wont be disappointed! Have 2 of them.  Go with the 7:1:1, I think a faster retrieve is better IN MOST situations

Used Curado or new Citica. For $80 the BPS PQ is a good deal as well. Stick with centrifugal breaking.

Id look for a curado g series with that budget.

Going to agree with the others on a used Curado. Either a 200G6 or G7 will suit your needs just fine.

BPS PQ or a Citica will both suit your needs and price range.  I own both and really like them.  My other question would be you mention a sedona and then want a baitcaster.  Do you have a rod for your new reel or are you talking 120 for a new combo?  That will change up things as far as what is available in that price range.

Well good you mentioned that I dont have a rod for baitcaster I thought I did in the garage. Might have to go spinning again dont know if I can swing the extra for a rod since I wouldnt want a cheap 1.

you could get a BPS PQ and one of the plethora of good $100 rods out there and not be out a ton more than your budget.  I'll save you the recommendation of $100 rods though as there are already a ton of posts on here for that so just do a search and you wil lfind more than enough info.

stick with spinning for what you're doing. go buy a shimano symetre 2500 or 3000. if you can spend about $50 go for a stradic

Yea thinking of sticking with a spinning real. Im reading up on the stradic, is spending that much on a spin reel worth it? Where do you guys find the best deals?

You can find stradics brand new on ebay from reputable sellers from 135-145

Im leaning towards the stradic ci4 2500 and after some research its between that or the FJ. Also, I am reading icast will be soon but never experienced an icast event. How much does that drop prices for older models,if any?

Now I am eyeing a quantum exo PTI..anyone own one?

Ok, I ordered the Quantum EXO PTI 6.9oz reel on rollback from walmart.com for $150... Couldn't find it cheaper than 200, so 15$ than the FJ on ebay...Hope i made the right choice

Just noticed the walmart site description was the 25 series the next description the model # is ex30pti..dont know what im going to get now! I wont mind the 30 if its not that much bigger than a 25
