    Default Reel Recommendations


    I have a Pfleuger Trion that I need to replace. What are some good recommendations for a jig casting reel? I use 1/32oz jigs quite a bit and would like to keep it in the $50-80 range if possible (or lower if there’s a good one)

    Very happy with my President series as well.
    Yes, I was talking to myself; sometimes even I have to ask for expert advice.

    Another President fan here. But I also recently got a KastKing Zephyr 1000 SFS that I am very happy. It is very light, very smooth and has a shallow spool. I believe MSRP is $69.

    Been using a strange named reel lately and so far it’s been killer for under 20 bucks off amazon
    Might troll amazon and look around and check reviews and ratings, just saying

    I've become a fan of the Daiwa Regal.

    The Presidents are my favorite in your price range. I also use the Lew's laser lites 75 and 100 size. They are about 40 bucks and cast light tackle well.

    Count me in as a fan of the President reels, I have a couple of them. I kicked one in the lake one day from my boat and went back a few days later, the first chance I could go, and snagged that sucker from the bank with the first cast with a grapple hook. I was fishing near the bank that day and knew about where I lost it. Had it cleaned and it was good as new, been perfect ever since.

    I have a few but after the Trion crapped out, I’m just hesitant to get another Pfleuger. It wasn’t even used much at all
