Reel Purchasing Advice
Looking for suggestions in a reel for under $100 that would be good for predominately freshwater but also saltwater capabilities.
Would this work?

Also how much line/weight is appropriate for pier fishing?
Thanks!

That will work, loine capacity seems a little low for the sizes..
But if it were my money, I would go with a Penn or Shimano in the same price range.TUCK likes this.Carl

Penn fierce 3000 or 4000. $60
I love a shimano reel but their smaller series of reels have really gotten cheap. Especially with the handles. I like a metal handle, not a bunch of plastic.CarlF likes this.

I still like my older Stradic and Spheros reels, but I would like to read some reviews on the Penn Pursuit ll. I've been seeing more and more on the pier lately. Penn Fierce seems a little under-rated to me and I've still not had any problems with my plain-jane Sargus.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
