daiwa 2500 spinning reel BG MQ Series – Salt Strong A smartly priced reel that can match the performance of many more expensive models Daiwa 17 WORLD SPIN CF2500

I have great luck with both the 9.6' and 10.6' rods

With most baits youre restricted to just a couple, sometimes even just one, but with this there are probably 20 different ways I can think of to rig it and Im sure we will come up with even more. Beyond flavor, Berkley designed the Gilly so the hollow head section is soft enough to collapse during strikes and keep the bait swimming upright regardless of how its rigged

The weedless hooks are awesome

I like trying different baitcasting reels

So, thats my choice for the best baitcasting reel under $50, the Abu Garcia Black Max

In addition to durability, the best saltwater baitcasting reels feature advanced drag systems that provide smooth and consistent performance
