I'm leaning towrds the JM series because mag spool, has anyone used these and how you like it.

Also like info about reels including one I didn't post

Thanks 

Can go up some on price if right reel

Pflueger President XT - $79.99

Shimano Sahara FD - $79.99

Pflueger Supreme - $99.99

Shimano Symetre FJ - $99.99

I prefer Pflueger reels, but the Shimanos in that price range are pretty solid choices as well.

BPS spinning reels generally get mixed reviews, and the Quantums in that price range tend to be much heavier than comparable reels from the other manufacturers.

I have the 8030 Pflueger Supreme. Have it paired with my veritas. I like mine and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice spinning reel. It is lighter than quantum models

Of the reels you mentioned I've had the Quantum KVD and it never felt right to me but it was a second choice after the Quantum Catalyst PTi-B20. I returned the KVD reel and I'm very satisfied with the Catalyst-B20.

I have the Kinetic and the Sahara and of the two I will take another Kinetic over the Sahara. The Sahara hasn't performed well at all and is one of my least used combos.

I've never owned a Pflueger but I have heard good things about them and based on that I would say it would be a good choice as well.

For those presentations get one of the models with the 6:+ gear ratio.

The JM sig series claims to cast long, any other reels that are known for casting long??

You need to at least take a look at the Symetre 2500FJ:

On my list to consider.

Do you think theirs any truth to the claim that a shorter wider spool like JM increases casting length?

If spooled to optimum capacity, then yes by the width of the spool.  More line will come off of a spool per coil on a wider one than that of a narrower one. That's straight forward.

With that said, long casts can be easily made with spinning gear anyway and other things like reliability and longevity have a far greater bearing and weight on my decision than longer casts when buying a reel.

Might be a rookie question but narrower spools more accurate then wider? Less memory? 

I have the Symetre myself and love it.  I also just got a 600 Series Abu Cardinal.  Specs match the SoronSX and it was only $50. 

Shop, shop and shop !  I managed to get an in store special last year on Shimano Soros 3000's for 97.00 each.  They just had a two day deal with Symetre 2500's in a clam pack for 59.97, limit of two per customer.  The new 2011 models are just now out so there should be some 2010 models at great prices available. 

the bps PQ spinning can be had for 39.99 right now with reel trade in. amybe 44.99 I cant remember if its 5 or 10 bucks off for that price range.

Any one have any thoughts on the shimano sedona?

I've got seven Shimano Sahara 2500FD's.  Love 'um!

Think I'm gonna go with symetre for 63 buck with free shipping. Not a bad deal, I hope.
