bait casting reel

[redneck666]

hey... right now im looking at an $80 Abu Garcia bait casting reel, does anyone know how these reels perform? and any suggestions for other bait casting reels? (around $100)

Can't speak to the Abu Garcia but Cabelas has the prodigy on for $59, $90 all in to your door and it's a great reel - I love mine and am trying to talk myself out of getting another as a back up

thanks, but this may be a stupid question, are they easy to spool... i've never owned a bait caster
