Just bought a new rod for drop shot. Looking to stay around $100 for the reel, what reel do you guys use?

Thanks for any and all help!

Daiwa, 2000 to 2500 size, best spinning reel for the money IMO.

Pflueger Supreme MGX, $99.

Very good reel for the money.

Shimano 2500.

I say shimano but they make so many different models you could spend any where between $40 - $700.

The Abu Garcia Orra SX spinning reel is a great reel and priced at $99 in most stores. I use this reel for my drop shot and it has performed excellent.

I use the same and would recommend it to anyone, I consider it one of the best for the money. Abu Garcia has always done right by me, and I recommend them to everyone, great products and support. Definitely a lot of bang for your buck with that set up.

Johnny Morris signature series

I use the Shimano Stradic FJ which runs around $150-170 but the Symetre is pretty much the same reel and its $100. I have both and they both work really well.

You can get a Pflueger Supreme XT for about 120 online.

I like wide-spool reels for dropshots to cut down on line twist. Basspro has 2 in your range, the Pro Qualifier and Johnny Morris. They have decent drag systems and they're light. I'd use either one with no worries.

a shimano stradic 2500 for an extra 40.00 or a stradic 1000.....

A lot of good reels mentioned...

I've come to like a 6:1 gear ratio compared to 5:1, but I wouldn't say it's a necessity.

Okuma makes a couple good models under that price point.
