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'.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

Second the Quantum series. Had them for three years now. No issues.

I don't use spinning gear much. I do have a Penn 750 that I bought the first year they came out. Like I said I doesn't get as much use these days, some years only once or twice all season. I've caught tuna, tarpon, sharks, stripers, big blues and even amberjacks(which fight like bluefish on steroids) and it has never let me down

Catch'em up,
