    Default Spinning reel recomendations


    Hi,
    I am looking for new spinning reel and would like to hear your recommendations. The reel will be used for crappie and will be loaded with 10 # braid and used for casting. I need something in the $30-$40 price range. I have a number of Shamano reels and have had good luck with all of them but they are all reels that are higher priced.

    Your suggestions will be appreciated.

    Charlie

    I have an Okuma Avenger AV15 that I love. Cast like a dream and has the smoothest drag I've ever seen. Retail is about $35 but I got mine for 25 on ebay.

    I have several spinnig reels. I bought a smaller (UL) cabelas brand and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Okuma is a good brand (mine is a larger bait runner series and LOVE it). This is the perfect opprotunity to go MAN shopping!!!

    The Shimano Sienna is hands down the best $30 reel I ever found.
    I bought one I liked it so much I bought four more.

    I bought a BPS TinyLite spinning reel two years ago and love it paired with a 9' noodle rod.
