The Abu CD4 is in your price range and they are a nice reel new but I'm not sure they could survive too many dunkings. You just don't get too much for $70 these days and for $50 , you can't seem to get anything at all.

I guess if I needed a reel and only had $70 I'd get a Penn 4400SS or 4500SS. I haven't heard too many complaints about the anti reverse going on the smaller reels. You still got to finger the line each cast to be sure its not wrapped around the bale. That gets to be second nature though. You shopuld wait and collect more 5 cent returnable bottles til you can get a Mitchell Nautil. Appears to be the spinner to get right now. About $140.

I can loan you a Penn 4500SS (or 4400ss I'm not sure if I have both but i got one of them)for the rest of the season if you like. It's in perfect condition and just sitting in a box in my cellar. I won't be using it at all and that way you can wait a get a Mitchell down the road.
