    Default Favorite Reel?


    Reason I'm asking is because I kicked my best one off the boat on accident. I was using a mitchell 310 reel. I'm shopping for a new reel for the next trip. Any suggestions? What do y'all use?

    I'm a budget guy so a friend and I both ordered some HT reels off of grizzly jigs for around 7$ a piece. They have held up very well. He has had his two years and I've had mine for roughly 6 months. And no issues.

    While looking for Parts for a Shimano reel I was surprised how many reels are made under different Brands are actually built by ZEBCO.
