I what a cheap micro line spinning reel I can use for trout. Any sug? Thanks.

Daiwa Laguna: 40 bucks, Shimano Sonora: 50 bucks. Now, how big are the trout ? In my neck of the woods the hatchery raised trout you can catch in the sierra grow in excess of 15 lbs, I wouldn't go fishing for those with a teeny tiny reel better suited for panfish.

I'm not a fan of the laguna spinning reel I have.  Was using it fishing white bass in the Detroit River and when I was reeling in modestly sized whites, the reel was pretty rough.  For $10 over your budget, you could get the Pflueger President which is a far superior spinning reel.

I've been buying Pflueger Purist spinning reels for $39.88 at Dunn's Sporting Goods

Abu Cardinals hold up pretty well.

Pflueger President at $59 is probably the best value reel in that price range.

Pflueger President or Trion

The trout I fish for rarly get over 2 pounds...

Pflueger purist and trion, shimano sonora, abu cardinal, and mitchel avocet all get good reviews in that price range. I bought 3 daiwa ss tournament 700 size reels for 40 each used and they aren't the prettiest to look at but are built like tanks. Theres a reason daiwa has been making them so long design unchanged. If you might consider used id definitely take a look at these

Pflueger President at $59 is probably the best value reel in that price range.

^^^^^President all the way.  Is it me or has this question popped up quite a bit lately?  And it always ends w/the same answer.

Yep, 6920 or 25 should be very good

I love my Mitchell reels. I second on the Mitchell advocate. I recently picked up the 300 pro and its a smooth reel for 64 bucks. Its probably to big for what your wanting to use it for.

The$40-$60 or so spinning reel talk begins and ends with the Pflueger President and/or Trion. I have had others (Daiwa, Shimano, Abu, etc.) in the same price ranges and always come back to the Pfleugers. There is no more experimenting with this for me. It's simple........If I need a spinning reel...........I buy a Pflueger.

The smallest size President is actually listed at $49 a lot of places, so it fits the description perfectly

Go look at Shop Dunns...the purist is the next step up from the President and they are selling them for 39.88 plus free shipping.  I ordered another one today and it was shipped out today via priority mail.  I have a Trion, a President and a Purist(plus another Purist on the way).  They are all outstanding reels.

I have the purist and the president and like them both. I payed full amount on purist and it was still worth it. Can handle trout very well plus even bigger bass.

The smallest Pflueger President!

If you can find it, I have seen for the Shimano Sahara for $50 on sale.  It may have been last years model but this is a great real for the money.  I think it usually goes for $70-$80.
