I'm looking for a good flipping/punching reel. I'd like to keep the reel around the $250 mark. Any suggestions ? I've been looking at the lews magnesium pro reel and the revo alx. 

The sv103 is a great reel for this and it has the same spool size as the steez.  If your big into flipping the old steez 103 spool with the v shaped line area is very loose and will pitch like a mad man.  The price is changing quick and there are sales.  I picked mine up during the big sale at TW.  7.9 gear set makes the time between pitches very fast.....  I have not swapped spools yet so I have not checked the fit but if your interested I can go home and verify in person.

If your looking at lews get the superduty or the superduty widespool. They are tanks. I have one ive been throwing 8 inch hudds and i also punch with it. Been using it for years and still fishes like a champ

Thanks guys! Appreciate the help

Cabela's has em for 99 dollars ! 

Defiantly going to check out the super duty. Any certain rods you'd recommend ? I'm looking to keep them in the $175-$250 mark. I'm looking at the flipping Dawia zillion and the lews pro speed stick and the custom speed stick lite.

All good choices. I also really like the new Johnny Morris Patriot from bass pro. Very comfortable rod, right at the $200 mark

For well under your budget id look into a lews mach 2 7'4 heavy flipping stick or a lews custom speed stick magnum 7'11 flipping stick. I own both and love them

I wouldn't rule out the lews tp1 speed stick. I have 4 of them and they are great. They fish a touch heavy, so a heavy I feel like would be perfect. I use a 7'3 H for flipping and pitching the heaviest cover I can find and it is a beast. Also way under budget at 100 dollars

Yeah i forgot to say the tp1 also

Great minds think alike!

Thanks for the help guys! Appreciate it for sure 

Sounds like your budget just opened enough to buy another combo...

 

Yep! Was planning on a 400-450 setup but don't think that's needed.
