Great Job. And i agree with your review
Amazing guide, The reels you mentioned are great for their price!
Best bang for your buck for sure!
I am actually about to post a video covering this topic and it’s funny how different our lists are. I see that as a good thing because it means that more companies are putting out quality budget products.
I have 3 of these reels. I agree with this list wholeheartedly.
Good to know!
I have a Daiwa revros LT and have had it for 10 years and love it, also have the fierce and love it great choices
I found a Shimano Sedona 2000 for $38 because it was last item in my local outdoors store. Looks like a great little reel. Needless to say I bought it on the spot.
Okuma Avenger , is a tough smooth reel
I love my Daiwa regal 2000. It handles 6-8lb wipers with no problem and I do love Daiwas drag system. Just thinking of the sound of drag peeling makes me wanna grab a pole and get out on the water
My go-to spinning reels are the Daiwa Legalis and the Shimano Sedona.
The updated LT series ..incredible! Feel like certates and caldias.
Caldias are nice smooth and strong
Just scored the Daiwa Procyon AL 3000D brand new in box. Never even had line on it for $70 @ a flea market, opened up the reel and like all Daiwas needed a lil oil and grease and it’s just soooooo smooth! And that ATD drag just sounds sooo good and smooth as butter!
That’s a steal!
Abu Garcia is extremely slept on, I just picked up a JDM revo alx theta 2500sh for less than $100, it's got the features/tech and build quality of a $300-400+ reel. Feels and looks amazing.
I love JDM stuff, I’ll take a look at that one! For this video I was just trying to highlight products that are readily available u know?
@@humbugvideos 100% you did a great job, just pointing out a brand that doesn't really get a look in because Shimano and Daiwa are most people's go to.
I don't mind the okumas but I've had more wind knots with them then any other reel Ive fished with, usually fishing with drop shots and weightless Texas rigs so I guess I'm asking for it.
I swear by phleuger, They are reel masters, I actually bought one during a sale at the fairgrounds and it's in great shape, While my current reel on my main rod is a bass pro elite I am planning on changing my bait reel to the phleuger! Great video, keep slaying them!
They've been making great stuff for a long time!
Ive got a fierce 3 4000 i use for catfish and reds. I also have an 8000 ive used for black tips and i can say both have been amazing so far. A little on the heavy side but they can handle just about amything.
It's those fierce and firce LE light , medium light rods that are straight legends. Pursuit rods are a plus
This seems more freshwater oriented but I bought a couple Daiwa Legalis LT 5000's for $65 as backups or guests on the boat reels. I'm purely saltwater and its done well for a full season. Just opened it to service for this fall and it was spotless. Caught everything from redfish, fluke, striped bass, spanish mackerel, tautog, sheepshead, etc. on it. Buddy of mine landed a 16lb tautog last fall on it which, if you know tautog, is about as hard a fighting fish as possible.
The 5000 size is small for a 5000 but 26lbs of drag and holds 200+ yards of 30lb braid.
Heard great things about the legalis!
I ordered a Fuego and got a legalis on accident and ended up keeping it and it worked great throwing paddle tails for saltwater stripers
Thanks a lot Bro.... love frm India 🇮🇳
Let’s goooo
I have a Pfluger President my dad gave me and it's a nice little reel. I also have a couple Diawa Revros in 2000 and 3000 sizes, and can't say anything bad about them. They're light and smooth. I also use a Penn Fierce 2000, 4000 and a 6000 with the bait runner switch and they're awesome for the money. I have another Pfluger too but don't remember the name. I haven't used the Pflugers in the saltwater yet but the others are used all the time in the Chesapeake Bay. I only moved here about 3 months ago and so the Diawas haven't been really tested yet, but I've been using the 3000 almost exclusively for the last 2 weeks. I got a 7 foot medium action fast tip Ugly Stik Carbon Inshore that's all graphite and the pair are a great lightweight sensitive combo that I can use Texas rigged soft plastics with. It's important to have the right rod, I was using GX2'S and missing a lot of bites, getting less bites, and they're heavier. The GX2's are fine for live bait and some lures but they suck for flounder jigging in my opinion. Ever since I got that combo I've been just using it until I can get a couple more sensitive rods.
Ask me in 6 months or a year and I'll tell you how the Revros hold up. I got dragged across a grass flat in my kayak by a bigass stingray for about 15 minutes until I saw what it was for sure and got tired of it. Unhooking a foul hooked big ray in a kayak alone is a dumb plan so I grabbed the spool and snapped my 10 lb braid. But that Ugly Stik and Diawa dealt with something way heavier than they're intended for, zero issues.
If I recommend any reel it's always Penn and probably always will be for people who want durable stuff. I usually buy them. My Diawas came from my dad and a guy who wanted to sell one at a pier. Otherwise they'd be Fierce's.
Yah let me know how the Revros hold up for ya! I gotta do more research on that reel
@@humbugvideos I've been using the 2000 for about 2 months regularly, and I just got the 3000 a couple weeks ago. So far so good.
Need to look as the Kastking Sharky III
May do a video on it soon!
Also, of your list, the PFlueger is my favorite reel. I am not a huge Shimano fan. I have researched them quite a bite and found that under a $100 Shimano reels are basically the same reel from the $20 FX all the way up to the $90 Sahara. All Shimano does is give you 1-2 more bearings and a rubber knob. Everything else is the same. That’s why I use the FX over the Sedona.
My list may be biased because I love my shimanos! Yah I love the Sedona but not enough to win over the Exceler. That reel blows everything else out of the water imo.
@@humbugvideos no, being bias when it comes to your gear is perfectly fine. If it makes you happy, good for you! I am the same way. You’re just giving your POV of your experience.
i have 2 Okuma Ceymars a 500 and a 1000 with baitrunners on them , i use them for icefishing on deadstick setups. I have an okuma avenger also to do this....they allow me to take my time and walk up to the rigs to et the fish since the line feeds out. i regurarly use my president 500 on a UL rig, my Nexave reel is a really nice one on a UL setup too. However, as far as my UL setups go, i have 2 BassPro Micro Lite Elite reels that are unmatched. They have awesome drags, really loud AND really smooth....they easily handle the occasional bonus huge fish while panfishing
How are you going to include the Sedona over the Nasci? Why is Sedona here but Daiwa Fuego LT 20' isn't?
Daiwa Fuego LT can be found easily under $100 and is a superior reel than the Exceler. Look out for the new 2023 models of Daiwa LT since you love em so much lol.
I’ll have to do some research, u know when they’re coming out?
@@humbugvideos tackle warehouse has them already
Scheel’s currently is selling DaiwaFuego for $60. Black Friday specials at Dick’s had Regal LT for $30, had Pfluger Trion for $20, had $1
Those are steals!
What size reel is your Diawa Exceler? I just purchased the new Diawa 2000 LT but haven''t had a chance to try it yet (just got it in the mail today) Hope to use it for bass and wonder if you would have a suggestion as to what type of rod to use with it.
2000 for bass would be perfect! I have a 1000 for trout, panfish, and ice fishing, perfect for those 2. Rod all depends on what your trying to fish with!
Thanks for the reply! I hope to use it for top water (Spook Jr or frog) in the spring and probably light jigs in the fall. Just hope I made the right reel choice.
@@mikev5573 For light applications with that it should be fine!
I’ll take the Shimano Nasci over the Sedona all day long. So much better looking also…..need to try a Daiwa reel
Love the Daiwa revros.
I ordered a Fuego and ended up getting a legalis instead for some reason which i believe was valued at about 60 bucks and its a super smooth and nice reel.
Why did the excelar make the list but not the shimano nasci? Same price, i have felt the nasci in store and it feels similar to the stradic. Im not judging you or criticizing your vid (I enjoyed the vid), im just interested in your opinion on this
I didn’t include it because the Nasci can is usually priced at $100 or above so I felt it’s a different category. Also, I think the exceler is better in terms of overall performance!
you should say about its specification too not just why you like it
I like Shakespeare 50
That's a good one too!
The Okuma CEYMAR ODT has almost twice as many bearings as all these reels and a lot more drag. It's very smooth. I can't see where anything on this list is worth paying any more for. Especially since you can get one for under $50 now. I assure you that any of these rods can probably take a spraying down just as well as the Sedona after salt water use. Shimano guys wouldn't tell you if their reels failed miserably at anything. It's 7 pounds of drag is pitiful.
How do you feel about lews reels?
They’re ok, I just really like the feel of Shimano and Diawa more. Just a preference!
@@humbugvideos thank for the response. I geuss those 2 are thé top dogs for a reason👍🏻
This is kinda old, but I used my presidente reel in saltwater all the time. Just rinse if off right away. It never hurt it.
Good to know, appreciate it!
IMO the last Pflueger President that was really good was the 6900 series. The two recent versions have not been as good of a value or as good period. I own both older and the newer versions and they just aren't as smooth anymore in the last two generations. They don't start as smooth and they don't break in and get silky like the older ones.😢
Interesting, I’ll have to check out the older ones then. Thanks for the comment!
What size is it for the second real?
The Penn Fierce? For all around inshore I'd do a 4000
Daiwa rules !
Dick’s had $199 Daiwa Procyon AL LT for $85 Black Friday special. Watch for those “flash sales” .
Where the hell you getting a fierce at for 60
He has the links underneath.
yep, daiwa beat any other rell under 100 bucks (legalis , exceler and fuego)
Daiwa Legalis over Sedona..
No pflueger president?? Wth man
Pick #5!
Интересная катушечка, не слышал о такой . Как раз обновил себе комплект на днях. Прошлый Ryobi Zauber отработал около 10 лет. Взял новую версию плюсом палочку для твича GAD FAIR New кстати палочка очень понравилась. ua-cam.com/video/LTSvpWQEriA/v-deo.html
Nasci has crappy handle compare to Daiwa ‘s. I hated my nasci with so much play.
None of those reels are made for saltwater. You said the penn is sealed. Not so. None of those reels are sealed!
Shimano nasci would be my top choice for under $100. You can find them under $100. Way better than any daiwa in that class.
Penn actually made the Fierce for saltwater anglers. I do agree tho, the Nasci is a great choice, I didn’t put it in the list because some places charge above $100 making it just out of the price class
