Go revo.
The Revo S was/is my first baitcaster, and I LOVE IT!! The SX model has a higher gear ratio for faster retrieves, and the next model up has a secondary magnetic brake that is totally useless, from what I've heard. Also, check Wal-mart, I think they carry the S for 89 bucks too.
My vote would be shimano curado, or if you are on a budget get the shimano cruxis for 50 bucks at bi-mart. Of course the curado is far better but for 50 bucks the cruxis is worth it. I fished my 50 doller cruxis for over a year now and cought steelhead, coho, and chinook:shock: on it. As far as the pflueger I owned a trion spinning reel and a trion baitcaster. The spin reel wore out very fast. Also good luck getting parts for the pflueger reels. My baitcaster got the side plate dropped in 20 feet of water by my brother. When going to order a new one I got the answer "We dont have any":think:? well after a year calling once a month they finally could order one for almost the cost of the reel. My vote shimano all the way!
