I'm talking over-the-counter. Let's keep it real. A properly adjusted, properly cleaned and lubed cheep reel can cast just as far as a properly adjusted, properly cleaned expensive reel if matched to the same rod and weight. I've got old $30 Quantums that can cast just as far as my TD-Zs but they have crappy drags, die-cast gears that sound like a sewing machine and are sloppy loose on the roller bearings (not actual bearings but brass bushings).

Hey jignpig, I absolutely love the Advantage reel I bought from Cabela's. Thank you for the recomendation. The drag system is sweet! I had to try it out so I went down to Galveston Bay and caught some redfish. I don't know if you have ever caught some of those beauties before, but they love to make long runs, usually 2 or more. The drag was just as smooth as my dads Chronarchs. Needless to say, I might have to consider buying Daiwa from now on. Thanks again!
The hardest thing about fishing is figuring out what the fish want to eat.

You're quite welcome, Coby. Always good to pass on information that helps.
I think they run about $50.00 more or less, logo.

Where did you find the 150 Advantage for 59.98$? I'm looking for some good lefty reels and that price range is awesome.

How does the Team Daiwa 153H7 that Wal-Mart sells compare to the Advantage 150H and 150HST?

The 153 is a step up IMO. The 153 has 7 bb & 1 rb compared to the 150 that has 5 bb & 1 rb. To me the 153 feels smoother(extra bearings?). I just got 2 of them and chomping at the bit to try them out. They also sell them at Cabela's for $139.99. How much are they selling them at Wally world for?

CobyT,
Where did you find the 150H for $59.00? I bought one at BPS a few months ago with a team Diawa Extreme rod for that price and been looking every since for another. I love the one I got but didn't want to pay $99 for another.
