Alright, I have my favorite baitcasters, but haven't found a spinning reel that I am overly crazy about. I have several but none that really stand out to me. I want to hear some opinions of the best spinning reel that money can buy. Can be a reel that is currently produced or one that is no longer being made. I am referring to bass fishing reels for use with light line(6-10 lb fluro) and used for techniques such as drop shots, shakey heads, split shots, etc.

I've got the Lew's Team Gold Carbon reels. Been very happy with them. You can also look into some of the JDM reels.
I'm not rich so I need to balance price vs performance. There are some awesome $350+ spinning reels out there.

"of the best spinning reel that money can buy."
I've fished for trout using light line on a $60 Shimano Spirex, a $100 Shimano Symetre, and a $600+ Shimano Stella. Hard to say which was "the best".

If it was up to me I'd buy the best Shimano you could afford. Per Tallgrass above I'd agree but I'd make it a Shimano.

Two years ago Shimano added the line propulsion management system to their spinning reels. It minimizes line twist better than my older more expensive Shimanos and it comes in the low end sienna all the way to the high end stella. The sahara and symetre are the models I'd consider. I fish symetres a lot. Looks like we have a consensus regarding your question. Here's a Shimano Symetre victim from this morning. 6 lb line so I had to be careful. Took 10-15 minutes to get em in.

I love this reel because it's lightweight and of it's very smooth and strong drag system.

The plueger presidente for 60 bucks will out cast and outcatch pretty much any spinning reel on the market. For the price it has the MOST ball bearings of any spinning reel out there I have two of them and they are plain amazing!!!

If you want the best money can buy a shimano stella 2500 or even a daiwa certate in the same size would be my next option.I would say the certate for half the price of the stella is the best for the money.The certate is awesome.
