New Fishing Reel
Question
Hello,
I want to buy a new reel because i lost the handle to my Pflueger President 6730(great reel by the way). I do not have enough time to get the handle shipped in, so i need a new one. My price range is $50-70(although i spent 80 on the pflueger). I fish bass, and walleye in the bay of quinty. sometimes salmon in lake ontario. and a little trout in ponds. I want a spinning as i already have a good baitcaster.
thanks in advance
Answer
Man that sinks I own a Pflueger President baitcaster also and I absolutely love her. I'm not sure if you were asking for a baitcaster in that range or a spinning reel so I'll give you both. As for baitcasters I would purchase an Abu Garcia 5600 or black maxx. I've used and abused mine. I live along the south Texas coast so I mainly fish a lot of saltwater so I've dunked it in the drink and forgot to rinse it off and it still performs just as well as the day I bought it. It is so smooth and my dad has had his for forty years and I still use it every weekend. As for a spinning reels I own five spinning reels in that price range and I don't know what I would do without them, they just perform so well for so many things. They are the Shimano Sedonna, Shimano Spirex, Abu Garcia Cardinal 500ALBi, Pflueger President, and a WaveSpin Technology Doug Hannon. The WaveSpin may look weird but it is a God sent for fast running fish with its extremely smooth drag. See I too transition between many different species such as bass, redfish, snook, speckled trout, rainbow trout, catfish, crappie, sunfish, snapper, and drum just to name a few. I hope this helped. Slimy fives and tight lines! Good Luck Jordan!
