New reel purchase recommendation

Featured Replies

Haven’t bought a new reel in a few years and want a new general purpose casting reel. Last reel I bought was a fuego ct and I liked it. Want to keep price $100-$125. What are my other options in this price range?

Have you checked the Flea Market forum here. ? I saw some real nice reels for some very good prices earlier today.

Lew's LFS or another Fuego since you liked the first one.

 

If you used left handed baitcasting reels, I have some in the price range you mentioned for sale on the flea market forum here.  I'll also try to list my spinning reels for sale in another post tonight. 

Daiwa Tatula CT, Shimano SLX MGL, Lews Speed Spool LFS

This was posted in another thread.  You can get a Quantum PT Tour S3 (RH 6.1:1) for $115.  It is a $200 reel.

TT gave it a "Great" rating.  PhishLI and a couple others on here have highly recommended it.

Never used the Tour S3 reel, but this seller is legit. I bought many Lucky Craft jerkbaits from him. 

If your loyalty leans toward Daiwa, another Fuego possibly in a different gear ratio. If brand isn't a consideration, there are four or five quality reels in that price range.

And I still do. Just did a deep clean/lube and had it out tonight for the 1st time this year. Still fantastic and, as I was reminded, it'll sling a 3/8oz crank stupid distances. Its 36mm tall spool allows for something a little "extra".
