Im looking for a new baitcaster, my  price range is 150 and under...any suggestions

What applications are you going to be using the reel for? Any brands/models your looking at? You also might check the flea market for a deal.

Shimano, ABU, Daiwa offerings at that price point make it almost impossible to go wrong. If you have any preferences we might be able to help you narrow down choices.

Check out the Pfleuger and Pinnacle reels as well.  Great reels at reasonable prices.  Are you beginning to get the drift here?  Everyone will have an opinion, but only you can decide on which is the best reel for you on any given rod.  In the $150 price range, most any reel you choose will do the job, and will do it well.

Chronarch 50e. Just wait three more weeks and TW will have them for 20% off.

Jay, everyone will give you their input on their favorite brand baitcaster.

 

Here is what I want you to do:

 

Try to find a local individual that repairs rods and reels.

Call and ask him which reels he likes best based on the inner workings and repair statistics.

 

My friend in Powhatan that repairs rods and reels likes Shimano and Lews. He told me that the Lews inner workings are equal to or better than Shimano based on the plastic used and the times he had to repair them.

 

Hold off on making your purchase until the Thanksgiving/Christmas sales begin. You may be able to find the reel of our choice that would retail for $200 in the $150 price range.

I would recamend Lew's Tournament Pro,,,,,lotta reel for the money!!! Well inside your price range, the Tournament and BB1 are also excellent choices and well below you maximum price allowance. C?ould narrow down the choice more if we knew what it will be used for!

If you are willing to shop around for a bargin, the Pinnacle Optimus XLT

is an outstanding reel. I have recently acquired my second reel below your

pricing point.

Some guys here are saying the lews bait caster is a good one.

Do you think we will see the Friday after thanksgiving sales?

I hope we see lots of fishing equipment on sale. I don't need rods and reels but I'm a lure junkie for sure. The bait monkey has me upside down by my ankles and he's not letting me go.
