are they any good? I bought one of the skeet Reese revo back in the day (someone stole), that reel was the legendary revo. but I see the "victory" makes the reels now and they are super cheap are they worth it? are they a good bang for the buck?

also I was thinking about the cables prodigy? I don't know much about it, what I do know is it is a very good reel. my buddy bought and it was super nice and was only $100. if yall can tell me a little about both reel pro/cons would be very much appreciated

The current Skeet Reese reel sucks. It is clunky and feels like garbage in your hands. I have a hard time believing anyone that fishes for a living would use those much less an elite angler like Reese. I'd pick an Academy Mettle reel before the SR reel. That's saying something.

I don't know anything about the "cables" reel.

There are a lot of better reels thang the two you're looking at. The lews or mettle out do both and the mettle is only $50 bucks.

well I have plenty of expensive rods and reels. I seen how cheap those to and all the review were good. but don't get me wrong I like to spend good money on awesome stuff. I need three reels that I like. im trying to get a boat so trying to save some money 150 200 bucks a pop, money goes quick. so im trying to find the best bang for my buck. I have bought a lot of reels off craigslist to try to keep cost down. im ready to buy some new stuff. i would like to buy something in the 100-150 range i love quantum reels and the revos, have had the best luck with those two. i have never had a curado, really never had a lot of shimono reels? lews i have heard so much about them it is unreal. everyone says to fish with them?

For a hundred dollars, you cant beat the Lews speed spool. I am a reel whore and own at least one of just about every brand. Lews wins, hands down. That being said, my skeet reese isnt awful. does ok for flipping and pitching

I own a skeet Reese victory and itsbeen pretty good, I have braided line on mine and out of that, a pinnacle, and a shimano citica 200, i like it the best, it's only $110 so it's in the range you were looking.

well i haven't decided. im probably going do something. round there i might just go get what i want. i going to get the lewa speed spool, maybe something else i might just hit up cables and bass pro while im home to look and see what all i need. my plan is to get beep cranking rod and reel combo (i have the rod) c-rig combo, and one more flipping combo, have all 3 rods. i might just wait out the storm and keep looking on here to see what all pops up for a good deal.
