Favorite 100$ reel for bucktails and spinners.

I am looking for a new bucktail/spinner reel. I have always used Abu Garcias, with good success just wondering if there is something that I am missing.

Just a little info as I would check out Reeds in Walker/Baxter thru the online store. They have a close out on C3's very good deal. I fish left handed so just piked up a 6501SS for $55. They have a closeout on St. Croix 2004 hold over rods. Some very good pricing

For bucktails, it is so very hard to beat a 7000. I bought mine off hsolist and message board listings. I don't think I paid more than $80.00 for any of them.

I have 2 7000 C-3 Garcia reels. One for throwing bucktails and the other one for throwing big spinnerbaits. These reels are built like a tank. Can't go wrong with them!!!!

To add a bit more about 7000's. I decided to switch to 7000's 4 years ago. Before that, every year, I would get another reel or 2 to replace reels that were wearing or to have as back ups.

After a season with the 7000's I sold almost all of my 6500's (had to keep a couple for carp, cats and sturgeon) and the 7000's have been bullet proof. I have yet to go to a back up or have one as much as hiccup during a day of fishing.

7000's are built for the abuse and they take it well.
