Budget Spinning Reel Review - Under $65

Cabela's Fish Eagle Classic Spinning Reel

This is a great reel. You won't find a better reel for the money. I am very pleased with the functions and overall guality of this reel.

The gear ratios are perfect for spinners and crankbait. This reel has a very smooth drag and I will definately buy another or two!

Cabela's Prestige Spinning Reel

A spinning reel with great value.Very well balanced, smooth and operates easy. This is a great reel for landing big bass. Cast easily and retrieves smoothly.

This reel is another great deal for the money.

Abu Garcia® Cardinal® 300 Spinning Reel

I own 4 of these reels and consider the Cardinal one of my favorites. I haven't had any problems whatsoever. These reels are great for taking crappie, trout and bass. The Cardinal is very light, smooth and has the ability to cast light lures well. The drag is very smooth and performance is equal to much more expensive reels. Definately a good buy.

Daiwa Black Gold Spinning Reel

The Black Gold is a fine reel. I've never had a minute of trouble with this reel. I wouldn't trade this reel for any of the more expensive reels.

This reel is one tough customer. I've put mine through all kinds of hazardous duty and it has never failed. Hard working reel for sharks, reds and pompano.

Okuma Avenger A Series Spinning Reels

This is actually a pretty good reel. I bought one for my son and he has caught bucket loads of fish.

This reel is very light and compact, easy to handle, does not bind, the drag works smoothly. I would highly recommend this spinning reel to anyone.

Pflueger President Spinning Reels

This is one awesome spinning reel. I really like how smooth this reel cast. A good reel for any type fishing.

If you are looking for a quality reel for a budget price, you won't be disappointed with this reel. The 6725 is one of the best reels I own.

Pinnacle &174; Extant Spinning Reel

I just received this reel a few weeks back, so I haven't had much time to use it. Appears as pretty good quality, feels well balanced and has smooth action.

I have a good feeling that this will definately be a keeper.

Quantum® Incyte™ Spinning Reel

Another really good reel for the money. This reel has a nice bail trip mechanism. Smooth cast and drag.

The only drawback would be that it seems a little bulky. Overall it works great, feels and looks great. Good value for the money.

Shimano Sienna® Spinning Reels

This is a really nice budget reel. Great for trout and smallmouth bass. This reel is quality and has the looks of an expensive reel.

The handling, casting and drag are great. Very smooth, well balanced and simple to use. No need to pay more when you can get the same results for less.
