Anyone suggest any decent reels for under a hundred? Anyone ever own a Pinnacle Matrix? Thoughts? What about the Quantum Antix? Okuma alumina?

For a small fee you could use one of the reel cleaning/repair guys on here and have a good as new quality reel in the price range your looking for.

If you fish for more than 1 a month they won't hold up level winds brake handles spin backwards they are heavy and just cheap made reels that can't take punishment like the above mentioned reels.
