What kind of baitbaster to buy?
Its about time for me to buy a new reel. I think you can feel more with an open faced but for some reason i love baitcastors. I had a Daiwa that i bought years ago for around $60, its about had it, i want another baitcastor and i dont want to spend over $100. I have tried the Browning Medallion and i think thats what i will get unless anyone has other suggestions of something better for cheap.

Buy a Pfluger Trion,This is a great reel for the price. Also try to remember that you get what you pay for.I've owned cheapies in the past and will never do so again.

Bassassassin, I have a Procaster 6+1 like new for $45.00 shipped, and I just got a Pflueger low profile Trion in, its in excellent condition, $60.00 shipped.Instant message me if your interested.If you not interested in these reels,but got another reel in mind, but have some unanswered questions about the reel, I will try my best to help you.I deal in alot of reels and do reel repair for the local bass clubs, so I most likely have seen it, but not always.

Bass pro has an online sale on their Quantum AC500PT for $49. I have one of those reels and I'm about to p/u another. Its a dang good reel and for $49 you can't find a better reel.

I just picked a Pflueger Trion for $79.00 (normally $99.00).
I am an SF Curado user and that is my benchmark when it comes to baitcasters and the Trion is giving you a lot of reel for the money. I'll admit I had my doubts at first, but for that price I just couldn't say no. Fotunately, it casts magnificently and pitches beautifully. I still give the edge to the Curado but the Trion is a decent and practical choice for the budget minded (like me!) -islandbass

I Am A Firm Believer That If You Can Find A Really Nice Used Rod And Reel Combo Or Just A Reel, That That Is The Best Way To Go. Thats How I Started Out. And I Still Have A Few Of Them And Will Never Give Them Up. If You Ask Me Thats The Best Way To Go.
