Default Best Baitcaster for under $100
I received an Academy gift card from work and could use a new reel to catch trout, reds and bass. What are your recommendations for a decent bait caster for under a hundred bucks?

Thanks!

Shimano Cardiff bait caster, academy sells them for around $90. I have had a couple for about 5 years now with no problems. Very good reel for the price

I got 2 citicas, 1 curado 50e, spent $99 for each one, i've had almost every other major brand and the shimano's have held up to my torture testing, I bass fish, trout and red fish and even though there not the smoothest reels I own but there the toughest and long lasting ones, go ask a reel repair shop they will agree.

I bought one for my wife on black Friday for $25. I'm sure I'll get some use out of it.
