534, RE: reels Posted by , Mon Apr-09-01 03:46 PM
The penn 310 gti is a good reel for about 80 bucks at big 5 - it works well for about 15 - 20 lb line and is fairly indestructible (I use one on my kayak) - you can also get a Shimano corsair for 50- 80 bucks depending on the size - they are nice little reels but have a rep for not lasting well long term - shimano says they are working on it though. Abu Garcia makes some good baitcasters in that price range too - the ambassaduer (sp) series is pretty nice (again I have one of those and love it). The shimano calcutta is a great reel, but cost anywhere from 160 to 200 plus, but if you can afford it it is really worth the investment. thats my .02
