Well the the reel foot (graphite) on my shimano sonora is bent now.  Now I am in the market for a new spinning reel and need some suggestions.  I am willing to try any brand and model.  Just need to keep the price below $100.  This reel will be used for t-rigged plastics.  Thanks

I have sucessfuly used another graphite reel PFLEUEGER PREIDENT for a long time t rigging Trick Sticks the x6735  60 bucks My Favorite spinning reel.

If you want Aluminum, I have also used the PFLUEGER MEDALIST which is just under a hundred same size.

pflueger supreme 100.00 magnesieum and 10 bearings the best reel i own, FAR better than my 229.00 shimano sustain.

Pflueger Supreme      99.95

Shimano Symetre      79.99

Shimano Sahara        59.99

These are the reels I have personal experience with and highly recomend.

I have both the Pflueger President and the Pflueger Supreme. Absolutely love both of them. Highly recommend either of them.

I went with the Shimano Sahara.  I searched it and found nothing but good things.  I will go with a pflueger when I put my next spinning rig together.

I also have the Pfluegers mentioned above and they are great reels. They are all very smooth and have performed well. I have the new Pflueger Supreme XT spinning reels on order but they haven't come in

yet.

You definately can't go wrong with any of the Pflueger spinning reels. I used the Medalist exclusively last season and I did not have a single negative issue with them.

Nice choice! I have nothing but good things to say about mine.

Check out the new Kevin Van Dam spinning reel.  I picked it up for $79, normally $100, a couple of weeks ago.

Its on a 6ft Berkley bionics medium rod and I LOVE the set up....Oh and it looks pretty smooth too.
