Spinning Reel

Interested in what most of you think is the best spinning reel for a drop shot, plan on spending around 100.00 or a little more. Thanks for your input.

Lews.

Lews spin spool is awesome

Bass pro shops extreme for the money. They are running a 5 day hot deal sell with a viper bait cast and spinning reel. The spinning reel is 19.99 for a 10 bearing system and metal frame. I bought the bait caster, and almost bought the spinning reel.

Is it Speed Spin or Spin Spool?

I'm sorry yes u are right it's Spin Spool

I mean speed spin, I'm just screwing all my typing up today

Abu Revo S, 5:8/1 and silky smooth

....

I've been using this one for 3 years for drop shot,small flukes and 1/8.oz T-rigs never any problem and i bought it in a combo with a 6'6"medium rod with fast tip.Walmart rack $80. Model SE2500FD

Love the Quantum Smoke 2500 I have on my drop shot rod. Smooth, reliable, lightweight.

I like the Shimano Symetre at the $99 price point. They're also approved for salt water.

Quantum - Accurist model or higher
Shimano - Symetre model or higher

Sizes would be 2500, 25, 3000, 30

Balance with the rod is very important. It also helps prevent fatigue.

WaveSpin and say goodbye to line-twist. For price you can 2

Seconded... based on no back to back testing but that it's what I use, and it's just suck a delightful reel. I figure most feedback on stuff like this is from people who don't have much if any experience other than "this is what I chose" anyways lol.

Also worth noting I think I paid about 1/3rd retail or less on it at Academy on sale, and then a month later it was on sale for $20 cheaper still, which was crazy as that put it at the same cost when I purchased, and then even cheaper than the next Abu down from it price wise, and the mid/lower end reels weren't ever marked down any.

Pretty sure I paid $49 in store when it and my veritas rod were on sale and I couldn't help but buy them.... then I swear it was marked at $29 the next time I was there, at the one off 75 in Plano.

I like using the Abu Garcia Orra SX. It has a very smooth drag system and offers 12lbs of drag. It also has a spool that you can tie braid on to it directly with out using a mono backing.
