Baitcasting reels

[Grant22]

Hey everyone I am in the market for a new baitcasting reel for steelhead and was wanting to try something new. I have heard good things about the Okuma cerros and the newer Shimano ceanan. Budget is not much over $100. Will be used for spoons and spinners and drift fishing mostly. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

• Abu Garcia Revo X Baitcast Reel

I like this one a lot and for it size it has a good retrieve and drag.

It costed me 130$ but is a really solid real. It works good for bobber fishing and would work good for what your talking about using it for.

well i'll look into both of those then for sure, thanks!

I got the Okuma Epixor at Bi-Mart for around $90. You might be able to do better. I'm happy with my left handed model.

Mines on a 10'6 lamiglass that I use for shore fishing and it's honestly a beautiful thing.

Just wanted to come in with a correction. The Epixor was only about $65 at bimart I saw it as a 9 in my head. At $65 it's a great value buy.

Well I ended up going with the revo x 7.3:1. I got a screaming deal on it at cabelas that I couldn’t pass up. ($100 down to $65). Feels good with 40lb braid and could get about 130-140 yds onto it. Will be giving it its first go this weekend.

That is a great deal also those reels are quite good.
