If you could only have 1 baitcaster for the rest of your life & only $130 to buy it

If you were only allowed to have 1 baitcaster reel for THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, and it had to be under $130 - what would you buy??????????

[billyp]

Shimano curado.. E.. On ebay around 130

I would purchase a Lews Tour MG. I have the Shimano Curado and Lews Tour MG. While the Shimano is a great reel, I feel the the Lews is equally as good and has some additional features like the audiable brake and is a slight lower in profile. But, both are great reels.

Thats easy Ambassador 5500 or 5600

I am a shimano guy but if I had to get 1 reel to last the rest of my life I would get the ambassador (sp) 5500 or 5600. Might not be the smoothest reel out there but without a doubt the toughest ever made. And for $130 you could get two just in case one tore up.

I have shamino ch 100a reels I bought in 1993 and are still as smooth as when I bought them. That's 20 years??? So for me it's a no brainer....Longivity depends mostly on care and maintenance.....lol

Lew's Tournament MG Speed Spool, you can't beat it for the money.

Ambassador 4600 C3 with the thumb bar because they are fairly light weight and are tanks. If I was convinced it would hold up as well as the 4600, I'd go with the revo premier.

pro qualifier hands down. I thinks its the best baitcast reel on the market for the money
