Thread: Casting combo

Flueger makes some really good reels,

x2 on ^^^ use them on all my rods. the 30 or 35 series.

hey birdman I use the 30's on my spider rig rods and the president on my jigging rod I love them, may have them on sale at BPS next weekend, I just picked up 2 more $39.99 ea there yesterday, Guy said he should have plenty for the crappie madness sale , I asked if they would be cheaper then he just himm hawed around .

IMO, you're not gonna find an affordable baitcaster that will do what you want. That leaves you with two options:

1) Spincast - I would suggest one of the new Zebco Omega's or an old Johnson Century from ebay.

2) Learn to love the spinning reel. They're designed for casting light baits. I would suggest a Daiwa or Shimano that fits your budget.

Regardless which brand you go with you want one with zero back lash. What I mean is when you stop turning the handle it should not be able to go the other way at all I love my Flueger s I have some shimanos Abu s you name it Sorry you got a bad run on yours Wizzard

Did I misread ur post your looking for bait aster reel or spiinng ? For bait caster Academy Sports has thier own line right handed only. Easy to use my boys have them I have a couple. Use it more than my Abu revo. I can tell the difference obviously Abu at $200 is a great reel but for the money you can't beat the Academy bait caster. Only comes in right handed. No leftys

Pflugher is the way to go
