Trout spinning reel?
 

Thinking about buying a new Stradic. Is it worth the $220 or is there a similar reel out there for less?

I only use Penn, good luck with your decision. I like the Pen SSV3500 and SSV4500 for inshore fishining.

Yes. Worth every penny. If you look you can find em for 180 ish

What are the better spinner reels? An h20 bait caster cast almost as good as a curado or lews. Do the high dollar spinner cast that much better?

Ggggg is nothing. '**' on many message boards in the title means there is no message beyond the title. Some boards won't post a message with only a title and no text. Hence the Gggg - just a random key tapping.

Trout spinning reel?
 

I personally look at casting as a lower consideration when purchasing. They are all going to throw pretty well, the cost difference is justified in length of life, drag performance, and overall sturdiness when a fish is is on. I have had cheap reels that sling well, but aggravated the crap out of me once a fish was on.

If I purchase something that I use often, I want it to remain that way for years to come without having to swap it at academy every season...

Well said.

put the rest $ in the bank

the NEW PENN conflict, or any okuma spinning reel. I prefer the penn conflict 2500 over the SSV 3500, it weighs in at 3 oz lighter and has 7+1 ball bearings compared to the SSV 5+1 Bearings... Plus it's the same price =)

Penn battle series is a good reel too. I throw that and a Stratic. Seem like I always reach for the Stratic first tho.

What rod do you like? I have a spinning reel somewhere but rod is junk.

Waterloo just got one after feeling a buddies of mine.

Stradic. Puglia's is as cheap or cheaper than anywhere.

I'm looking at getting a couple of these. Any body have one yet? 66lb drag sounds pretty good

2-3 years and all Spinning reels nut up. Where as a bait casting reel will last forever. With that said, I use Spinning reels 90% of the time. They're not as rugged as bait casting reels, but when they're functioning properly, they are a true joy.

i have 2 quantum optix reels that i have had for at least 5 years... they still work like new... purchased for $25ea. i just purhcased 2 more for $29ea. i see no reason to spend so much money?

LMAO 1300 for a spinning reel? That SOB better have built in toy for the wife and bluetooth :shaking::shaking::shaking::shaking::shaking::shak ing:
