I'm not up on the current reels, I have looked at the discriptions on a few sites, but ya know how that goes, I'd like some Real world suggestions from you guys. I did look at the Pflugers on TW, but noticed they aren't available in the lefty's..? Rell will be mainly used for plastics on a 6'6" Rick Clunn bps rod. I'd like a good casting reel, one that doesn't require lots of adjustmen, and in a low profile model. Brand isn't as important as quality, and feel. So...whatcha think..?

BTW, if absolutly have to spend another 30.00 or so..that would be o.k.

Ebay FTW. New curado E7's for $150 all day.  STX's $160-$170.  Last year's model of Quantum Energy PT's on closeout for about $100.  Hell of a deal on the PT's, they aren't quite in the same class as the shimano or abu but I love mine plus they look sweet.

Ebay is by far the best place. I got the 09 Quantum Catalyst for $79 NIB and the Energy PT 09 for $ 118. You have to be patient and you'll get a great deal.

REVO SX  

I would go with the Shimano Curado.  Very nice reel.  Casts light baits very well and is very smooth.

Will not be disappointed.

Later,

The brand matters to a lot of guys...I'm a Shimano fan:

Can't go wrong with an Abu Garcia Revo SX.  Simply a phenomenal reel.

Pflueger President, or you can get the johnny morris elite series on sale at BPS for 179.00. both very good reels.

RW, I know..I've had Shimano's for over 25 yrs..however, I'm looking at reels this time with an open mind..
