Shimano caius is a great budget reel for the price! I have an extra I would let go of u are interested.

yep. same with the Carbon Fire. I had a copy of that reel in the Lews Laser MG. Hated it, as i couldn't get it dialed in, and the frame felt weak, because of the carbon (graphite).

The Carbon Fire and the Laser MG are two VERY different reels. I've never used the laser but can tell you the carbon fire is an AMAZING baitcaster for 80 bucks. I've never had problems with it. check the reviews online. The CF gets great reviews while the Laser MG gets mostly bad ones.

Its the exact same reel as the Laser MG. Check the Spec's. Even though there are good reviews, honestly, compared to aluminum baitcasters, I would think that there would be a huge difference in quality and performance. Just talk to people who have used both the Speed Spool and the Laser MG. They all say it is worth it to shell out the extra 20$.

I use a Chinese baitcaster from eBay it's around $27. To me it works perfect ill post the numbers.

#DM-120LA it's black with red trim.

#141139172865

It has to be a exact clone from a name brand. Or a name brand put there name on it.

IM no pro I rather buy lures. I've fished with shakespear $12/$14 baitcasters when I started out.

Ok bash me now it works awesome.

Daiwa Laguna (right handed) at Cabelas is like $40

If you are a lefty the Lexa at TW is the way to go.

I found a site that's advertising the Pinnacle Producer for $56 and change shipped. Don't know their reputation but never seen that reel new for that price anywhere before. big supply shop?

Just got an email that  the Laguna is now $25.  It's a graphite Lexa, easily worth $25 a shot.

d**n.. that website has everything for a bargain price. Now I just need to figure out if it's legit or not. They have Abu vendettas NIP for under 50$

A Bargain Casting reel is very similar to Bargain Brakes.

 

One will Probably kill you and the other will make you want to.

I have two Abu Silvermax reels that I bought for walleye fishing with bottom bouncers.  I'm going to give them a try for bass instead of buying another Revo
