For bait cast abu is the best value for the money. If you're fine with spinning I recommend the cabelas salt striker baitfeeder reels. They're 50-60 new

Abu all the way. Ming yang is not bad. But if you plan on fishing awhile abu 6500 is tough to beat. I might also suggest if you buy used and also for maintenance such as cleaning use freds reels that guy will make em purr like new he knows what he s doing.
 A little slime never hurt anyone allot is even better

I use Abu Garcia 5500 and 6000 series round reels. They work great and are a bit cheaper than 6500s. Only down fall is they dont hold as much line as the 6500s and dont have bait clickers(5500s). But for a guy on a budget that'll get ya started.

They're ok if you buy extras pretty cheap so you'll have parts.
