NewHips Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I need to pick up 1 more casting reel, I have a Gander mountain Guide series IM8 7'6 heavy 1/2 - 1 /3/8oz. Primarily going to use for throwing Bucktails and 1.5oz spinner-baits, 1oz spoons. I need some suggestions.......trying to stay in the $100 and under slot. I will probably be using 40lb braid also.Thanks for any input...............Hips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplumma Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 For the price you have to spend you should watch the classifieds for a gentle used one that will get you more bang for the buck. I will say an inexpensive reel is one that will either aggravate you with poor performance or break in the worst time and manner. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Yup, for $100, you'll get way more bang for your buck with a used reel vs new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solopaddler Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Spend a little extra money on a Curado. It's a proven performer and won't let you down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
