If you do too then why not spend $120 and get say a Cabela's Prodigy(spinning) or a Shimano Curado (baitcasting)? These reels last a long time and are well worth it. I would not skimp on fishing equipment....but that's just me. my 2 cents

I have, among many others, a Shimano Sedona 4000. I picked it up new at a
local marine store for $50. It comes with an extra AL spool. However, I can't much tell a difference between it and the $25 Shimano TX 4000. My 8 yo son has the $40 Shimano Callisto if you want to go baitcast. It wouldn't be my baitcast choice though. "f.blair" wrote in message news:eYnfc.42252$rg5.73342@attbi_s52...

I just bought a shakespeare medalist spinning reel. I just wanted to replace
one of the other spinning reels I had for a few years. Bought it for about 35.00, 7 bearing very smooth nice offset handle design, seems like a solid reel but time will tell. And while I have good reels and junky reels, I could care less which one I have in my hands as long as I'm fishing, my favorite setup to this day is my South Bend Phase two, two piece rod with a reel that has taken a beating and a half and never let me down, 29.00 combo 4 years ago, might be 35.00 now if you can find one : ) "pat gustafson" wrote in message ... f.blair wrote: What is the best reel in the $50 range?

A used reel on eBay listing new for $100+ is the best reel in the $50 range.
