Crappieman Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 I just bought a new 6'6" jigging pole. 4-10 test line. What type of spinnig reel does everyone recommend.. I cannot spend a lot (2nd child due any time now).I would say between 30-60 dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Mitchell 300x $35 or less and it comes with an extra spool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 I ment that to be the 308x not the 300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobb-o Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 I second the Mitchell vote. But I recently picked up a Abu Garcia Cardinal 302 and it is a very nice reel only cost me $30 at Cabelas------------------"I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Shimano Sahara is a great reel at the top-end of your price range, $59.00------------------Chells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yar 32 Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Don't forget check out the Daiwa Regal many sizes and a decent price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uffdapete Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 The 308X is a good value in that price range. I believe there's also a rebate going on the 300X & 308X this year. Last year I bought a 300x on sale for $29.99 and sent in a $10 rebate, so if you can wait and watch the sales you might find the same thing in the next few weeks.Another reel that would deserve a look is the Okuma line. I looked at 3 or 4 different grades up close last weekend and was very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmouth Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 I feel that 28.99 the Quantom SX or SX2 are great reels. SX10F (Front drag, 4 bearings, 5.3:1 gears, 125yds./4lb.) SX20R Rear drag, 4 bearings, 5.2:1 gears, 140yds./6lb The only thing you have to get used to is the Snapshot2 casting system. Other then that they are a great reel.

guideman Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 I "cast" my vote for the Shimano Sadona100, it goes for about $50.00.I have been using them for a number of years and they are very durable. Always remember when buying equipment, you get what you pay for. Never waste your money cheap equipment, there is a reason why it's so cheap. ------------------Ace guide service.Beautiful Lake Vermilion.aceguideservice.com[email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
