Best reel for $100

[Drew1233]

I've been lookin at the abu gracias. One of my buddy's recommended them and I got a black max that performs just as good as about any of my other baitcasters. Have had it for about two years and still hasn't worn out

Drew,
I love my Shimano's, but the Black Max so far have inpressed me. My dad started using my baitcasters and we fished a tour together and the Zebco's had to go. I went and got him two of the Black Max and one Silver Max. The black is smooth and so far have been holding up. I admit after we fished that tour I put one of the black's on my main worm rod and 1 1/2 later its still on there. I am a beliver in using the same reel so you can control speed and casting but money doesnt grow on trees and the Shimano's take a chunk out of the fishing budget. They may quit working tommorrow but for the money they are nice.

Are the shimano caius and caenan's nice or should I pay the extra money and buy a citica? Looking for a flipping reel but don't need anything with a flipping switch.

the new lews are hard to beat. i prefer them over abu. i would stay away from quantum.

[bigwormy]

You can't go wrong with lew's or pro qualifier. I have 2 of each. However, my buzz real is starting to act up, it's a pro qualifier and I'm gonna replace it with the lew's.

Just ended up buyin a bps extreme. They are $20 off right now. May end up getting a lews as well.
