i need a new spinning real

[sevendustfan#1]

yesterday i was taking apart my spinning real because my anti-reverse wan't working so does anybody have any suggestions?

What is your budget?

[sevendustfan#1]

around 50 dollars and it was a shimano medium-heavy action combo

[Rideaufish]

Are you close to the sponsors by any chance? From what I see on the board you wont be steered wrong.

i thought of just going to Canadian tire tomorrow to just pick up some stuff and maybe buy a new spinning reel

[Xenos]

Last year I picked my daughter a Abu Garcia Cardinal C102, and was quite impressed with it for a reel under 50 bucks. The drag is quite nice, it’s smooth, has 6 bearings and infinite anti reverse.

i will probably buy that one tomorrow and still going to buy some fishing supplies

[Question Man??]

There is a good Shakespeare one at Walmart it is 49.99 had 7 ball bearings and a Spider one 8 ball bearings both under around 50

with Rideaufish. Try and get out to Baitcasters or Paddletales. You'll find a better selection and get some personalized service. You'll probably be able to mount the reel on a rod similar to the one you own and see if it's a balanced combo.

Also, judging and buying a reel based just on the number of ball bearings can be a mistake...

In my opinion i think you should go ahead and pay a few extra bucks and get the shimano stradic. 4BB 1RB Anti reverse is on the dot...smooooth drag...what more can you ask for?

I bought my first stradic about 3yrs ago....still good, and probably has another 3 or 4 under its belt...

i bought a new Abu Garcia C104 and a new tackle box

I agree with CCB, at least at one of those shops you will get a better service, and also you can begin a personel relationship with the owner. Nothing wrong about those other places If you are on a tight budget, but if something goes wrong you are on your own. You may pay a little more at the other places, but for that extra service that they give to their customers is worth it. Me personaly I haved never bought any type of tackle from any of them. I like to support my local tackle shop, and besides that they support their local anglers. And they will go that extra mile to sastify their clientel.
