Looking.for a new reel.
 
Im looking into getting a new setup of a rod and reel..im open to all ideas on what you think is a great reel that will last a good while..fishing in big lake and.prien if thats needed

SaltERedneck 01-04-2012 01:21 PM

curado/shimano rod. cant beat the quality of the reel and the lifetime warranty of the rod. My basic setup is a curado 50E with a cumara but you may wanna stick with something lower on price rodwise.

Saltwater friendly??? I have a 5:1 but it's strictly a freshwater setup.

what are you looking to spend? that will play a big factor in guidance.

Lew reels can you point.me towards a good one I heard about those. Money just.for a reel id like to spend 100 to 200 no more than that

I just got an Outcast Reel from the Stick'Em Rods people. Great reel, very smooth and retails for 150.00.

I have a tourney pro speed spool that is a good reel and has stood up to abuse for a year now. There are several great reels in your price range - Shimano Citica, Curado, and Chronarch. Lew's tourney pro, etc.

For the money, the Citica is a darn good reel.

Contact Anthony Beslin (Rigratnomeaux) with Duce Rods. He can hook you up with a sweet custom rod and a Lews reel.

i know it's on the upper end of what you want to spend, but to me the shimano Chronarch CH200e7 is probably the best bang for the buck in that range. it's pretty much screw for screw the exact same as the Curado CU200e7 that everyone loved and raved about. they're awesome reels.

if you want to stay more around the $100-150 mark, i would consider the lew's speed spool or tourney speed spool. my customer reviews have been very good and i haven't had any complaints about them yet.

feel free to pass by the tackle box here in sulphur and we can talk at length about what will work best for you. :)

Stop by the house tomorrow and try my new Outcast reel. You might just change your mind.

Take your line off first. If he just touches it will instantly backlash.
