The Top 5 Spinning Reels Under $250! 2024 Buying Guide

[@gianrosaly3631]

Love your review video , very clear and down to the point,thank you 💯

My first reel over $100 was the BG2500. Loved it but not its weight and huge handle knob so I upgraded to a Ballistic MQ 2500, which was flawless. I decided to get comparable reels from Shimano so I went for the 21 Ultegra 2000 and fell in love all over again. Just to satisfy my curiosity, I picked up the Twinpower FE and it is a piece of precision machinery! I hate to say it but the Shimano's are a bit above the Daiwa's, IMO. I love the Shimano's longer spool and the feel of the retrieves.

Agree I love my old Naski. And my Daiwa BG. Something about those reels.

@@gislijonkristjansson5547 they’re so awesome!

I love the Okuma Inspira ISX as an all-round reel for inshore and fresh water

[@greggmedley4294]

Good list. I own 4 of those 5. Great reels. If you are looking at quality reels in the 75-100 range look at cadence reels. Been using them a lot for inshore fishing here in southern cal and they are great

[@tackletestdummy9096]

Some of these reels are similar but you have a mix of finesse reels like the vanford competing against a full metal body reel like the BG. You need to break up your categories a little more which I know isn't easy on the buyers but gives you more content. Artificial guys love finesse style reels. Live baits or heavy metal lures go full metal body.

Yah that’s why I tried to bring in a diverse set of reels for different situations, as I know many people like a “one stop shop” type of video. I appreciate the suggestions though, I’ll look into that for future content 👍🏽

I was today years old when I found out people actually want a sub 11oz reel for any reason 😂.

Vanford Great reel

[@tracereed7457]

Shimano spheros deserves a spot

[@rivercityrambler7751]

...and the Tatula MQ has features from the Exist. And it has 2 more bearings than the BG MQ BG MQ - 6+1 Tatula MQ - 8+1 I will stick with Daiwa and their beefier Tough Digigear. Had many Shimanos over the years. Just prefer Daiwa.

[@humbugvideos]

We all have our preferences! Appreciate the comment

[@melvinnieves9221]

Can you do a video on the saragosa and twin power reels...

[@humbugvideos]

That would be a good one! I have considered doing a top spinning reels under $1000 but I don’t fish a lot of stuff in that price range. It wouldn’t be based off experience, unlike these reviews

[@YoungKing-sp5ty]

What are your thoughts on the Daiwa bg 8000

[@humbugvideos]

Great reel, especially for big game

[@jacobmcvay123]

Best feeling reels. Prob the worst holding up. Ya get that thing wet in salt water, better wash it down right away.
