Shimano Stella. But be sure to be sitting down when you look at the price.
I just purchased a new St. Criox Eyecon 7' model ECS70LF rod that I plan on using mostly for Crappie fishing, but will also use for Walleye.
Any body have any suggestions on a good reel for this rod?
Also I am new to this forum. My name is Ron.
Most of my crappie fishing is done in the backwaters of the Mississippi pool 13 and 14

Pflueger President is a good reel, with lots of ball bearings for $50 to $60. I like mine. Lots of good ones out there.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
I own 10 pfluegers,, and love each and everyone of them, Wallwy,crappie,white bass, goggle eye, eaven landed a 18 lb flat head couple years ago, good reel. Although I think a good rod choice is more important that a reel, the rod does 90 percent of the work, the reel 8 and the man 2. good luck on your choice.
A Shimano in the $50 to $60 range will serve you well for as many years as you take care of it.

Thanks to you all for the info. I will probably try the pfleuger. I was thinking about one of them anyway.
Plueger President series is the best bang for your buck....IMO

I like the Pflueger President w/ 10 ball bearings. I have 4 of the size 30 series. I did buy a Plueger Trion GX size 35 and a Trion GXsize 30 a couple of weeks ago. The Trion is a little less expensive. The Trion has 7 ball bearings. All of them have the instant anti-reverse which is nice.
