I just started getting back into fishing last year and realized how much I'd missed it. Unfortunately though, most of my equipment is well past time for replacing and after losing the handle of my one nice reel in the water I've decided it's time to get something a bit better. However, having not spent money on a reel in a really long time, I'm just not that up on what's available and what would be a good buy for me so I could use a little help.
Pretty much all the fishing I do is inshore, barrier islands, bayous and shore fishing. I'll take what I can get, but usually shoot for specks, redfish, flounder etc. Very rarely do I do any freshwater fishing, so I'd be looking for something made for saltwater prefer spinner reels to anything else.
So far, the two reels I have locked in on are the Penn Battle and the Shimano Sedona. I'd like to keep the price under $100, but don't mind going over a little if the quality is big enough a jump to warrant it.
