Looking to buy a low profile baitcaster, but don't want to spend more than about $80.   I'm not a beginner to baitcasters, so it doesn't have to be a beginner reel.     Another thing, I like my reels to be small so I can palm it. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Team Daiwa Advantage 150H - Good reel for the money  $60-$70 most places.

BPS Tourney.  I think around $50.  Not a fan of BPS brand stuff, but threw this a couple times and felt real good.

I know you said 80$ but if you could save 20$ more you could get an Abu Revo S. I think Shimano still has a rebate on their Citica that you could get for 90$. If you dont want to spend more than 80$ then heres something to look at. A few weeks ago some guys were talking about how good the Abu Garcia Promax was and its priced at 75$. Heres a link to the page. Good luck.

I haven't seen one of those for sale in almost 6 months.

If you're dead set on limiting yourself to $80, get a Garcia ProMax.  If you can come up with $20 more, a Revo S.

If you feel like waiting, a Citca 100DSV for $120 - the $30 rebate.

Those TDA's were a steal right before they stopped making them :-?

Abu Garcia Siver Max or Black Max.

Go to the Flea Market here Currently in your price range:

BPS Extreme

5 Pflueger Trions ( stay away from the Purist)

Pinnacle MP 10

I Have bought reels here and was always pleased 8-)

Try the new Quantum Burst $70

Abu Max series or the Revo S.

I'd go used higher quality reel if you can find one. Look on EBay, find a good seller, and buy a higher end reel.

i think the citica 100 is the best budjet reel it feels great in yuor hand but is still strong you can find deals on them for a hundred bucks all the time
