Reel suggestions

[Bennettc]

I got a quiver stick to give to my brother in law for a Christmas gift.  I am thinking about getting him a reel to go with it.  It has to be cheap.  I've already spent enough.  I am think about a sienna 500 or a cheap fly real.  Any suggestions under $30?

If you want a spinning reel a Mitchell avocet UL is very nice reel for 20 bucks.  I recently picked up a Clam spooler and its a decent little straight liner for about 25 bucks.

What about:

The Sienna 500 would be your best choice in that price range.

Another vote for the sienna 500 can always upgrade the drag to carbon for a couple bucks, I have a couple siennas and after a drag upgrade and a hot sauce treatment you cannot tell them apart from my sedona and saharas

Yeah I have a couple sienna's myself. I like them alot.
I have an Okuma SLV on my quiverstick.  I didn't know if there was fly reel option for him that would work well in the lower price range.  Does the Sienna beat out a lower priced fly reel?

They both have good applications - a fly reel is not the best fishing for lake trout in 80' of water... a spinning reel is not the best fishing for finicky bluegill in 4' of water

I picked up a Clam Spooler for the quiverstick.  I like the size and the extended reel stem and the price.  Should be a good gift.

look for an okuma slv 2/3 fly reel in that price range, great buy. i would go fly reel over spinning any day

If you are fishing twenty feet or less, I would definitely go with the Okuma SLV. They weigh 4.5 oz., which would be a sweet set up with that rod. If you're maxed out on cash, let your
brother-in-law get his own reel. Better yet, buy an SLV and keep the set up for yourself.

Shimano Sienna is a great reel for the money, I have several.
