Dobyns Maverick reels < $30

If you're fine with Lew's, Pflueger and/or Abu, these should be just fine. Would be good for camp or if you don't mind disposable reels for salt.

I’ve researched this a lot. The least you can spend to get a decent reel is $90, cheaper with discounts and sales, for the Piscifun Alloy M2. Anything less than $90, it gets awfully sketchy on what you’re buying

Well, these were originally $100

Doesn’t mean it won’t suck. They’re being discounted at 70% for a reason

You probably should avoid these then.

Just ordered a couple.
I ain't too proud to buy cheap shite. I'm still fishing with the $20 13 rods I saw on here a few years ago.

I will avoid anything owned by GSM Outdoors like the plague. Quite possibly the worst company I’ve ever done business with. I seriously doubt Dobyns and Phenix will be around in 5 years. It’s that bad

Ehh maybe rods and reels but they own Yamamoto, Roboworm, and Bill Lewis. All 3 are still good.

Well, I bought some Roboworms a month ago, went to take one out of the pack, and noticed every worm had fused together to make one big clump. Had to separate them using a razor blade it was so bad.
I also had them screw me over on a warranty here recently. The rod should have never broken in the first place. I will never ever buy another GSM product again and I think they’ll end up destroying all these good brands they carry

Guess they can’t really screw those up then

Not anymore than Lew's, Abu, Phlu... Plhu.. that other brand.

lol. Shimano and Daiwa are just on another level. KastKing has gotten a lot better. They sell the Skeet Reese Icon for $99 and it’s pretty highly acclaimed.

Best damn deal ever. I accidentally hit the buy button 3 x and have a dozen of those rods. No complaints for that rod at all.

Several trail cameras on sale on that site as well.
Average about $40 ea

I bought two of these reels about a year ago when they got posted on the OB. I think they were 20 bucks each. I use it in the surf in case it gets dunked. Caught a trout with it on Saturday morning off the dock, so its still held up although it hasnt seen much action. Also let my kids use it.

I hate them with a passion. The bought out all the rod making / finish companies and ruined them. They are impossible to do business with as a vendor. They also bought out the company that I have pouring my plastics and they screwed that up too.
I dont know anything about the reels in this thread but GSM really makes things difficult as a vendor
