Best crappie reels for jigging and bobber fishing?
I really like the BnM Pro reels. Both 50 and 100. Won’t break the bank….
Panfish Reels - B'n'M Pole Company
I don't think their is a really best reel. You can spend $10 - $200 for a reel and they will all catch crappie. Give me a good mid-level Shimano, Daiwa, Pfluger etc. and I am ready to catch some fish.
Like Grainraiser I'm all over the place on this. I really like my Pfluegers but I'm not brand loyal. I have almost every brand.
Phlueger and Shimano. I don’t have to worry about whether my reel can handle whatever takes my lure.
Shimano Sienna gets my vote, but I have several brands. Lew's reels are great too.
The two I'm most pleased with are my two Shimano Spirex 2000's & my two Mitchell 300x's (all of which are quite old, but still function very well). I say they're "old" so as not to be confused with the newer or latest models.
My Spirex's are a rear drag & a front drag ... both are "quickfire" & have the double paddle handles.
My Mitchell's have a single flat paddle handle & are very smooth reeling reels.
I prefer the flat paddle style handles over round knob style handles.
I use diawa,but I agree with this, I have had big bass and catfish either break my 4# mono, or destroy the smoothness of the dragon. With a good drag I still get broken off once in a while, but, just like trout fishing, the line size matters both in lure action, and not feeling overguned for the fish angled for.Quote:

I’ve had good luck with Mitchell and Shimano mid level reels
The cheap $19.98 a piece at Walmart Shimano FX is what I use as far as spinning. Any cheap bait caster works good as a line holder on a long rod if fishing shallow.
