Ok I got 2 reels based on this forum’s recommendations . One was the Elite max back at end of 2022 recommended by Luckydawg which is on my float rod and I’m very happy with it so far . The other is the revo sx which I’m yet to try but it looks good . So I will be trading in old stuff at bp and I need one more set up. A medium action spinning outfit for flukes senkos etc. Here is what im looking at . 1. Another elite max in 4000 seriers as the trade in price is tempting at $49 and is cheapest on the list but surprisingly good. 2. The new abu revo sc spinning ( new version no reviews on it yet so I’m wary) 3. The plueger president xt ( can’t deny the great reviews) 4. The Shimano miravel ( would come in at most expensive I’ll go coming in at $129 but $30 off with trade in) 4. The Diawa fuego lt ( don’t know much about but gets good reviews , I had a regal lt last me 6 yrs ) For rods in looking vendetta , fish eagle , Diawa tatula ,. Thoughts , or suggestions? Thanks

The guy I fish with the most uses both the BP Platinum & the President XT, loves them both but prefers the Pflueger. I rarely throw a spinning reel and the only good one I have is that Pflueger XT, so I can attest to its smoothness from my usage & it’s durability from my buddy who rarely throws a bait caster. He’s hauled in some mean fish with it. I have the Pflueger XT baitcaster as a spare or loaner & like it a lot but it’s a bit labor intensive to take apart & clean, lube, etc. Loses a few points from me for that.

I only use spinning for certain things . My cousin is a plueger president guy . He swears by them.

Going on season 3 with a fuego 1000 that gets moderate usage on my UL/L spinning rods. For the price, I have no complaints. If I needed a new reel & only wanted to spend 99$, Id have no problem buying another fuego.

If you go Daiwa you should be able to get one for 20% off. Some online retailers had them for 30% off around Black Friday. If you're trying to order a Daiwa ASAP try omnia fishing and maybe your browser will autofill a discount code for 15% off. Free shipping, no tax, they ship fast as they are in MN. I just got an order of terminal tackle from them in two days. They're currently running 25% off all terminal tackle. #notsponsored

I use to only use spincast reels . I was part of the forum like 8 yrs back then left for awhile. Those posts from those days are all on spincast reels . I had specific ones for different things. Never used a 202. I had omegas. Diawa gold cast and silver cast. Mule 10 and a few others.I still like certain ones.

I think I graduated from a cane pole to a Zebco 202! I must of been in 1st grade at the time. I could sling that sinker out a good 20feet when I pressed in that big button. I wonder if they still make them?

when I was a kid I used the tin can 33 s they never failed me . I’m still a fan of quality spincast reels .

The original Zebco 202 came out in 1961! There have been several changes to it since then. But if you still have one of the original models it's value is between 5 - 15 dollars on [email protected]

I use to have an old Johnson sabra from 1966 I think. Would fight pike with it no problem. Zebco Bullet 20 Spincast Reel - Tackle Warehouse Zebco Bullet 20 Spincast Reel - Tackle Warehouse. They have come a long way.
