Agree'd on the Lews. Very good reel & very good company. I have a Lews. My nephew was carrying it to the boat and dropped it. I called Lews and was upfront with the service manager about what happened, he sent me the whole palm side (which includes magnetic brake) at no charge and I had it within 3 days. That's customer service you don't find anywhere anymore. That alone says alot!

Daiwa Laguna is $59.99 and the Daiwa Exceler is just a tad over that. I have a few of both and really like them.

Shimano Calcutta 200!! There is one on Craigslist that looks practically Brand new for $100. I have had one for years and never even serviced it. Its been in saltwater and fresh and has land 1000's of bass and still going strong! New they are $199.00. Shimano Baitcasters are top of the line.

Catch a sale and pic up a johny morris at bass pro or cabelas. Stay away from quantum. They fall apart all the time That's just ignorant. Clean & grease your stuff and that won't happen. I have two Energys and an Escalade and have had great success with them. I'm talking over 1,000 bass. You can't go wrong with most reels in that price point. Just stick with what you know. I use quantum because I know them like the back of my hand. Most reviews on here are guys honest opinions based on what they know and have success with. That or they are being paid to sell something.
