I have 2 lews baitcasters and love them. They are the higher end super duty reels I got dirt cheap. Retail $179.

All the manufacturers are trying to be at every price point. I had some cheaper shimano spinning reels that were total garbage but I wouldn't say all shimanos are garbage. You get what u pay for.

Like lard said do ur research. If it is a best seller on tackle warehouse you can be sure it is good stuff.
