I'm looking for a new baitcasting reel to spool with lighter line - like 6-8 lb mono or 6-8 diameter superbraid and cast 1/8 to 3/8. I grew up on baitcasters so have a lot of experience with them.
Any recommendations for a reel under $100 that will perform well with that size line using those size lures? Specifically I want to throw cranks primarily for smallmouth and walleyes and occasionally for largemouth.
Important factors are avoiding backlashes (with a properly adjusted reel), reliability and light weight. I'll be building a rod for this application.
Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday.
What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures.
Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
