Best reel for plugging under 100.00?

Of course, If your thinking about plugging with a conventional, you cannot go wrong with an abu 6500C3 out of the box.

Spheros 8000 like many others have said. This real can take a beating. I wouldn't even think of getting a stradic for the surf after seeing all the work redlite would have to do to his every night. The stradic is a freshwater real. One thing to watch out for on the spheros is the handle knob. Pack it with grease right outta the box, if not it will freeze up. I beat the piss outta mine, never rinse it etc. and the only thing that has gone wrong is the handle knob, if it does freeze up put the old style baitrunner knob on there, its alot better.
