Replaced my Shimano Sienna 1000 with another one last year. Less than one summers use and bail arm won't fully return to it's lowest position. I think it was around $30. Not willing to get another one. Hit me with some recommendations. |
Ive been very happy with my daiwa fuego that was around $100. Its been well absused amd has held up well for 2 seasons. If your looking for a buy once cry once Id reccomend the stradic ci4. Its a beast but about double that cost- but well worth it. Ive also got a lews mach 2 on my dropshot rod that has been solid, but cant attest to it a whole bunch because i hate drop shotting.

Ci4 is gone. Been replaced by the vanford. About $230. Personally id drop another hundo and pick up a stradic. I have two. Replaced all bushing with bearings, added carbontex drag washers. $199 I picked up the new miravel 500. Put it on a daiwa presso travel rod. About $130. Taking it to owens river in a few weeks so we shall see. It is light. My friend has had 2 nasci’s for three years. No issues. About $100. Also check out the ultegra, $150. I have daiwa baitcasters, no spinning reels. cant help you there. |

The Miravel is Ci4+, but not salt water suitable (if that matters). Vanford is Ci4+, and is saltwater suitable. Nasci is not Ci4, but is saltwater suitable. I have the Nasci 2500, Miravel 1000, and Sedona 1000. Miravel is nice and smooth. Grewt feeling reel for $130. Nasci is about the same, but I use it for inshore and freshwater. Sedona isn't bad. $75. The Miravel and Sedona 1000 sits on my light and ultralight panfish/trout rods |

In my opinion Shimano makes the best spinning reels out there, period. There's plenty of good ones out there, but they're all battling for second. In my experience, the best one for under $100 is the Sahara. |
| I bought a Lews Mach Lite combo a few weeks ago. Great little setup. The whole setup was on sale at Dicks Sporting Goods for $59.Mach Lite at Dicks |

| I know this is an old thread, but I really like my Daiwa Regal and Legalis 1000 for freshwater UL. Both are well under $100. I'm a Shimano guy usually, but for low priced reels those two are excellent. They are smooth, very smooth. For comparison, I have the new 4000 Stradic, 4000 Sustain, Ultegra 1000, and Vanford 1000. The Daiwa reel nicely like high end Shimano, but I wouldn't take them in salty conditions, which is why I prefer Shimano over Daiwa reels in general (I trust their saltwater protection more than Daiwa). |

I have an ultralight Sahara. Don’t remember if it’s 500 or 750. I don’t think they make it anymore. I got it back when they had the anti-reverse switch, but they may have brought them back. I’ve been a Shimano guy. The most recent spinning reel I bought was a Daiwa Tatula. I’m rather impressed so far. It’s noticeably lighter. It’s quite smooth, but the Shimanos are a touch smoother. |
| Old thread…but I like my Legalis LT2000S-P. It is a JDM reel with a shallow spool so it holds less line than a normal 2000 size. But since it is a wider shallower spool, line feeds off it really well vs the narrow deep spools on smaller reels. I use it on a really light rod that is rated down to 1/64th oz |
