Where's the best place to get some cheaper bait casters.
Might try: Grizzly Jig Company - Reels
Depends on whether you're actually looking for a "cheap" baitcaster, or a quality baitcaster at a "cheap" price.
You might look at your local baitshops, and see if they have a consignment counter (or used reel section). I've bought several good quality reels from Backwater Outfitters (Lex. Ky), from their consignment shelf.
Your local Wally World may have some models of Quantum, Abu Garcia, and Pflueger baitcast reels for under $40.
... cp :kewl
Try www.sportsmansguide.com.....I bought some Quantum baitcasters with thumb bars there back in the spring....perfect for spider rig poles for 18 bucks apiece
I'm looking for 8 reels. Would like for them all to be the same. G thanks I will check sportsmanship guide
Yep....I bought 8....all the same. Also check here Buy Discounted Fishing Rods, Reels, Line and Tackle From Berkley, Abu Garcia, Fenwick, Mitchell, Spider and Johnson.Quote:

I just bought 4 Daiwa Laguna baitcasters from Sport Chalet for $30 each - shipped. I noticed the next day the price went up to $45, so their prices move around, but good prices are there if you're patient. Also, check Ebay - sometimes, especially with a "buy it now" type sale, a seller will have multiples available at the shown price and shipping is typically combined by the seller when you buy more than one...
You have to keep an eye on the Sportsman's Guide website because items drop off when their inventory is gone and new items pop up almost every day. I've also had good luck with both Ebay, local craigslist ads and yard sales for lower-cost tackle.
They were Quantums....he does not always have them....so you have to check often. I got a deal on some shakespheres from him also.Quote:

Thanks guys for all the info
These.... Nuff said.
Fisherman's Factory Outlet: Shakespeare Womens Reel
I bought six of them from these guys...twice. Very happy both times. Brand new and cheap. If you can get over the pink color.
Iwannafish thank you very much
X2 on these for me as well.....Cray suggested them to me and I have been very happy with them so far. The funny thing is the first time my wife saw me putting them on the rods she looked at me dead serious and said "you do realize that those are pink don't you???" I know she was likely hinting at me possibly being color blind (which I am not by the way), and I just looked at her and told her Cray said that Crappie's love pink!! She shook her head and walked off mumbling something, but that is pretty normal so I left it alone!! :RoflQuote:
