Looking for a replacement Crappie bluegill reel
 

I have and use Garcia baitcasters and Mitchell 300 reels for Bass.
I bought a newer Mitchell reel, smaller then my 300. It quickly fell apart.

I am not looking for anything new and fancy.. just something that is
durable and works.

I am not sure if all the newer Garcia and Penn reels are junk..

Any thoughts on an older (not collectible) reel?

I was looking at some of the Garcia Cardinal and Penn Reels.
Not sure what model is small and durable.

thanks

I guess the Penn 4300SS looks like it should be ok.
Spooled with 4lb test line.

Anyone know if extra spools can be ordered?

I have had pretty good luck with the Pflueger Trio spinning reels. The size
20 should be great for gills and crappie, with a good enough drag to play
the occasional bass that wanders through you favorite slab spot.

Who makes them now?

I thought they were purchased by another company

Still says Pflueger on the box. Other than that I can't tell you.
