yep, you really can';t go wrong with any of them

 

http://www.tackletour.com/menuarchive.html has some head-to-head comparisons; shimano vs daiwa to confuse you some more.

 

i find daiwa spinning reels have the best drags. that is just me.

 

you might be able to get a capricorn or laguna around that price if you shop around.

AWESOME website!! thanks for the info!

So Canuck, was the Pflueger able to handle that monster in your avatar with little trouble??!??

everyone always seems to point me towards Diawa's?!? Are they that good?? To be honest I've never really strayed from Shimano's

Any luck up there express??

Hey guys,

I'm in desperate need of a new fishing reel. The Shimano Stradic caught my eye right away, but its REALLY expensive! I don't mind spending around $100 for a reel, but $160 is a little excessive for me. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good quality reel no more than $100MAX?

I've always prefered Shimano reels, but won't discriminate.

Thanks.

I couldnt agree with both of your interpretations any more. I knew the guy in the dinner was from a sit down some time ago, nice research! he defenietly got capped, awesome ending, made you think, greatest series EVER!!

I would think that without a doubt, the reason all of those carp jumped out of the water at the same time is because they were spooked by one hell of an aggressive fish. I know you've seen the carp "mingle" with pike there, but if its a big enough, aggressive enough, predator taking runs at them under the surface there all gonna take notice and move ASAP.

just my thoughts, interesting thing to see no doubt!

Check out Balsam lake p.p. nice campground and theres lots of ski's cruisin those waters near the park

I did it all up until Rovers, my kids will do the same. Learnt tonnes and gained an appreciation for the outdoors, respect for elders, you name it. good stuff!

Thanks guys, great to be back!

Good idea, will do, Thanks!
