What bait caster do you get the most bang for your buck with?

Academy Mettel or howver it's spelled.

I'd get the H20 mettle over the black max. Black max pawl will be fricked in a year or less. Book it.

I have two really old round ones that are dying from pawl issues. I sad. Love those things.

You might still be able to find replacement parts for it. A pawl isn't very hard to change out

I received a BPS Pro Qualifier as a gift earlier this year. I love my Curados, but the Pro Qualifier is a great reel so far.

Thanks for all of the input.

I have trouble finding them

Abu Garcia Orra is solid for $99
Posted on 9/13/12 at 5:09 pm to tigersaintschevy
citica e's are damn fine reels. i have a few

Really though, I'd spend another $20 for a revo if you want the orra. I have one and the revo is that much better. The pawl on my brothers orra also fricked up pretty quick.

The revo was more than a $20 increase. $99 for Orra and $170 for revo. The Orra inshore looked solid too

Ive had bad luck with cheap bait casters. I pretty much stick to Shimano Curado or Citicas.
Posted on 9/13/12 at 5:20 pm to Uncle JackD
A revo S was at $130 when I bought all mine, and they dropped them to $120 iirc. The SX is $170 but it's a damn fine reel
Posted on 9/13/12 at 5:23 pm to Boats n Hose
Pretty sure I've never paid over $79.95 for a reel, if that.
Posted on 9/13/12 at 5:24 pm to AlxTgr
I've only paid over $80 for a curado. eBay FTW
Posted on 9/13/12 at 5:26 pm to Boats n Hose
Those are counterfeits.

Nah, all of my revos were demos in a glass case somewhere. Only one had a problem, I easily fixed it.
JackD, the curado I paid $130 for. The revos I paid $80 a piece for, except for one I got for $50, and I won a revo S from Abu's website for writing a review on an orra. I got an orra on eBay for like $80 new in box too.
