Most value for the money, Quantum Cabo and Shimano Spheros. If you want to spend alot and get a high quality reel, then look at VS, ZeeBaas, Diawa Saltiga Z, Accurate Twinspin, and Shimano Stella.

Without breaking the bank, I think the shimano baitrunners (45/6500's) are the best bang for the buck.
penns 704Z next.

Sorry guys,
I posted this and then got busy and sick and haven't checked it in a couple days.
I was looking at both the Cabo and Spheros... I already own a couple of the Shimano Baitrunners and am looking for a solid spinning reel.

Cabo's have a great maintenance program - send it back to the factory for a yearly tune-up ($30 to $40??) and alot of times you will just get a new one back.
Shimano Sphero's is a rock solid one as well - as someone said, they are coming out with the next "upgrade", so the current ones will be blown out by tackle shops.

Shimano Spheros 8000. I have a bunch of them and they are great reels for the $$. You can find deals, but they around $100 bucks. Lot of guys here have em'.  |

that quantum looks good but I have no history with it.
shimano spheros series is a good reel with a waterproof drag. They are upgrading them this year to an FB series, you can find the FA series for cheap if you look around

I know some guys here don't like them, but I have had good luck with Okuma spinning gear for me and my (now 11 year old) twin boys for the past 5 years.

I've also had good luck with Okumas. A charter guy recommended them to me a couple of years ago and I use them on the boat. They don't get dunked or dropped in sand and I rinse them with fresh water after every use. I haven't had any problems with either my Coronado or Salina and they both have had a good deal of use.

The V55 and V65 are good... I have 4 of them. The Quantums have a better Drag System... I only have 1 season on the V's so time will tell....
