Shimano Casistas 150 Have you seen these? I just bought one for a buddy of mine and man it's a sweet reel. It has a buttery smooth retrieve, feels sturdy but lightweight, and it just looks good. I really like they way it fits in my hand, very comfortable. These reels were just brought out by Shimano and I know they're gonna be a hit! Get you one, you won't regret it.

Don't shy away from used. The major brands, Abu, Shimano, etc, are almost all serviceable. Some guys on here clean them or there is southwest parts and supply. I keep an eye on Anglers Pro Tackle for the used ones, bought two Ardent Apex from them recently at a great price.

[quote=Ban-D]Under $100.00 the h20 express mettle is the bast reel period.If you're looking for $100.00 and up then the lews speed spool lfs is $100.00 and the best bang for the buck.
