    Default Best Baitcasting Rod and Reel - $100

    What is the best baitcasting reel in the $100 range? I am probably going to go with a Citica or a Revo S. I'm also going to need a rod.

    I assume you want an "all-around" reel? If you can salvage $30 more, the Fuego on TW is beckoning. Best reel for the price on the market as of now. Then, next year when they clearance the Sol, you can have your Fire & Sun one-two punch.

    As for the rod, it's hard to beat the Abu Vendetta or the Daiwa Procyon.

    It think it is between the Fuego and the Citica right now. Forget about the Revo, lol.

    It is between the Fuego and the Citica. I understand the Fuego is $250 normally, but this is the last year they are making it. The Vendetta is awesome, but a little pricey. The Procyon looks nice though and not too expensive.

    lol that abu vendetta is about half the price of each of my Carrot Stix! Thats a deal man,,, You'll need about $200 for a decent rod and reel setup...or you'll need to look for some used ones and get a better deal bro.

    I'm just looking for a reel around $100 and then the rod is separate from that price.
