Spinning reel recommendations please

[snagged in outlet 3]

My son bought a cheap spinning reel and it works great.

Spins the line up into a mess.

Can anyone recommend a decent one that's not $150?

6.5 foot medium heavy rod for Ned fishing.

I bought the Lews. I do not like spinning reels. Do you want it?

I only use spinning rods these days... two things that works perfect for me, I use the $50 Pflueger President reels and only use POWERPRO braid on them. No tangling or line problems ever with the braid.

Lew's Speed Spin and Pflueger President are both good reels. I've also got an Okuma Trio that's right sized for that application. I actually bought it to use fishing for whites and hybrids. All three reels are smooth. The Okuma is a little heavier than the other two. The Okuma has the best drag of the three.

What size is it?

Not cutting, I'll wait my turn.

So... Between the two, Lews (which model) and the President 6930, which one is most recommended?

Used as an all-around creek fishing canoe/kayak reel.

For the Ned....most of the Daiwas in the 3000 size are great. The Legalis runs about $60-$70 and will do what he needs it to do. The bigger spool will cut down on the twist, along with proper operation.

Otherwise, a med heavy is quite a bit of rod for the Ned. Med light is more in the right range.

I wouldn't buy a Lews spinning unless it is an expensive one. I've had 3 of them break and replaced and they are not smooth anymore. So I am Ready to buy something different now

Send me your address by PM. I will UPS it to you and you can send me a check for the pittance it costs. It is a really good reel. It is my bias against spinning rigs that gets in the way.
