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.

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.

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.
