Look on eBay for Curados or Coriolis reels. Otherwise, a reel that I've
been using that is pretty darned comfortable is the Shimano Cardiff. It
retails for $99 I believe and while I like low profile reels like the
Curado, this one is really sweet. It's smooth, has a good drag and is
lightweight.

Are the Curado's so much better then the Coriolis's? I bought my
Coriolis's about 3 years ago, used for about $35 each and I like them.


I believe that if you spend a little more, and get quality the first time,
you'll save money in the long run,

I thought spending $60 was a "little more".

When it comes to fishing I'm all about being frugal. Spending $200 for
a rod and reel, x4 is $800! But I get the point and agree. This is one
reason why I was looking at used reels.

I also like to stick with the same reels as much as possible. Makes
switching between them easier.
