I have alway been a spinning reel kind of guy, but was thinking about trying out a baitcaster to have another tool in the arsenal.  I would be using it mostly for redfishing around heavy structure.  I would like to get one that would be good for holding 20 to 40 # braid.  I have no idea what the best reel is for the money.  I would love to find a good one for around 100$, but don't even know if that is possible.  Any tips?

I purchased one from Bass Pro Shop it was the ocean master 4000. In fact I liked it so well I purchased two more. I've used them on every thing from inshore fishing to snapper fishing. I have 20 pound mono on 2 of them and 40 pound mono ( to Big ) on one (snapper)  They have them on sell at times for 79.99 but the regular price is 99.99 I think. I sure like mine and no problem with any of them.

Good Luck  Paul

I have always been a Shimano spinning reel guy as well, but I love my new low profile Quantum baitcaster..... I spooled it up with 20 lb. spiderwire ultracast braid and you won't believe how far you can throw a skitterwalk or a redfish magic spinnerbait with it.. awesome reels....smooth drags.. tested on some big sheepshead this spring...no problems.

BTW... the Cardiff series from Shimano are very nice as well, and I have one on a nice rod I am willing to sell if you are interested.. just not a low profile..100 bucks for the combo/reel and rod.

I need to clear out some rods..so I can buy some more.........

Flueger's 2008 saltwater baitcaster called the contender is a highly recommended reel. Penn  makes two saltwater baitcasters the Sargus and the persuit. Ive tested them out and both are very nice saltwater reels. And as capt. Bob said you cant go wrong with the quantum baitcaster.

Hey Bob, you convinced me! Im getting a couple Quantum Cabos.

We have the shimano curado 200dhsv, quantum tour pt burner and the abu garcia revo stx hs. Honestly they are all around $200 before manufactuers rebates and I choose to fish with the revos loaded with 30lb braid. But thats just my opinion They make cheaper revos and quantums

Quantum Accurist or Burner is my first choice, then the (New) Revo Inshore. I have several of both if you'd like to try them for a weekend.
