I agree with Larry. Prior to getting a VS a couple years ago the Shimano Spheros was my go to. I have a bunch of them and they really are an excellent reel for the $$. |
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

Spheros seems to be the most surf worthy for under 200. Fishes fine and much more durable than other reels at the same price point. Are they creeping over 200 yet?

Still around $130, and you can occasionally find them for less than $120. And they have the bailess coversion kit that runs for about 20 bucks. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
