Spinning Reels ?

We need to buy some spinning reels over the winter. We mostly fish for bass.
I like smaller reels as I have a bad right hand. Would appreciate some
recommendation for quality reels with a max cost in the $130 range.

Any suggestions appreciated. Any thoughts for spinning rods would also help
us.
Hope that's enough info. We don't fish tourneys, but do give our gear lots
of work so we're looking for above average performance. We had several
stolen last season and are down to our last two.

Thanks as ususal guys and gals.

Get a 2500 Diaiwa I landed a 28 pound cat on one of those,,, It will
handle any bass, yet it is smaller than most bass fishermen use. I have
4 of them, and use them for most of my fishing, I have them mounted on
rods from a heavy Castaway worm rod to my two 9 1/2 foot steel head St.
Crox's

Hi Josh,

I've had some great luck with Shimano Sahara and Stradic reels. You'd be
looking at $80 - $130 if I remember pricing correctly. I'd suggest the 1500
series size as typically you'll have them spooled with 10 pound line and the
capacity is plenty with that size reel. They're very light in weight and
mine have held up great over the years.

Another reel to look at is those made by Ardent Reels. They make one that's
about the right size and they're right around $130 too if I remember. What
I like about these reels is they're 100% American made and come with a full
three year warranty.

I guess it would depend on what you want to do, but I have found two rods
and one reel fills most of my spinning needs.

Almost a universal rod.
QUANTUM TOUR EDITION HSX54 TES704F 7' MED SPINNING
Topwater, cranking, light baits, splitshotting, and dropshotting.

I have five or six of the Quantum rod listed above.

Heavier Applications
ST CROIX PREMIER PS70MHF7' MH Fast
Wacky Senkos, Moderate cover, Heavier line, Carolina Rig, etc.

I have two of these St Croix Rods. I would probably have more, but many of
the things I use them for I have swung over to med/hvy fast baitcasting
rods.

Daiwa ss1600 whisker tournament series spinning reel
However, you may find this reel to be larger than you are looking for.

I've got five of these reels, and when I get a little extra cash I plan to
buy a couple more to leave in the boxes on the shelf for spares.

Very Rarely I need a lighter spinning rod for bluegill or crappie fishing
and occassionally for making extra long casts with lighter line. For the I
use a Fenwick Eagle GT 7' rod. I've got half a dozen of these also, but I
do not have the part number for that one memorized.

Good luck. Its about finding what works for you though. What works for me
might not be the best thing for your applications or style.

I fish about 20 hours per week, more if the wife lets me and don't fish
tourny's. I've had good luck using Quantum's Kinetic PTi. they have 20's,
30's and 40's models and depends on how heavy of a line you'll use. I use
the 30 for both Smallies and Largemouth. I use a 7 foot, medium Bionic
Blade rod with it. If you keep on the look out from Cabela and Bass Pro
Shops they'll have combo deals in the price range you're looking for. I've
caught a 22 inch Largemouth on 6 pound line as well as 20 inch Smallies on
that setup.
