Best Casting Reels Under $100?

[getterdun]

I recently bought a Kast King 9:1 for mainly frogging but I use it for worm fishing also, it's a small profile love it, I got it for $80 at Amazon, plan on buying more!

+4 on the Piscifun. I have been using them now for a while and can't find anything wrong with them. Great reels and good prices. Here is the web site for them. Jmax

Ok...let's go with +5 on Piscifun. I like others probably thought that a $35.00 - $40.00 reel might be junk. So far it's anything but and I have 4 of them. I've used them for a couple of years. The last one I bought is the Torrent and I have it paired on a Torrent rod. The Piscifun rods are excellent also. I'm also using their braid.

I got one recently and really like it. Seems to be well built, casts good, smooth drag, etc. Not sure how long it will last but so far so good. I got the 6.8:1 gear ratio. I just wish I had got it back around Christmas because they were running them for $50 bucks.

I'm probably gonna try one of these because I have 2 of the original pro qualifiers and love them. They had put them on sale again for $80 the other day I believe. I've had these 2 for several years now with no problems.

Had two I tried to sell for $105 and no one wanted them so I took them back toBass Pro.</p>

if ida known then what I know now, ida bought them from you Patrick.

Glad you like that pro qualifier Pete! All I've been using of late. The one thing I do like about them better than the lews is the spool release button is much smoother.</p>

I agree. And it might be my imagination, but they feel a little beefier than the mb’s to me.

I am an Abu Garcia guy, but I have been pleased and had a lot of luck with the BPS Pro Qualifier and Pro Qualifier 2. Watch for sales and you can get them for around $80.
