I am looking for a freshwater spinning reel that has a high gear ratio and trigger for bail operation. I want to replace my shimano FX series(they are a workhorse) but can not seem to find anymore of them.
I haven't seen many models on BPS or cabela's....
You might want to look into reading the reviews on fishing reels first at http://www.tackletour.com/menureels.html
I have switched over to the Shimano Stradic MgFA and have found it near flawless and very good quality....no complaints so far. For the money it is hard to beat.

Pros fishing with the 2 best spinning reels available in the fishing market
Nowadays, it's the size and line capacity (and the size of the drag washers). But back when I was a kid, a buddy of mine showed up to fish off the pier with a freshwater reel, while I had my Penn spinning reel of the same size. I used my reel for years -- his was good for that one trip -- it rusted!
But nowadays, I think all reasonable reels are corrosion-resistant enough to use in the salt.
Will a freshwater spinning reel mess up if used in saltwater? What is the difference between saltwater and freshwater reels? Do saltwater reels have something freshwater reels don't?
no difference just wash them off when your done and oil them
I have been trying to look it up online but a lot of descriptions confuse me. Also what pound test line would you recommend I use, I plan to fish in freshwater lakes and ponds.
all you need to do is thread the line through the eyes of the rod, flip the "bale" (the wire wire thing on the reel) and tie a uni knot on the spool,

than get a spool of 14, to10 pound test Sufix Siege (when your reeling the line in, make sure the label of the spool is face up) it's great line for beginners, it's coronation and abrasion resistant and has very little amount of memory. after you tie the knot on spool, than you take a sock, or old rag and very very tightly pinch the line between you fingers with one hand and with the other reel in the line making sure you get the line on tight when it looks like the right amount reel about 5 more cranks, than you snip the line with some clippers and squeeze the line if it's squishy than you need to take the line off to the knot and start over.

I need a spinning combo that is for saltwater fishing. I'm fishing off piers. I need the combo to hold 15-25lb line. If you could provide a link it would be great. Thanks. Also can you use saltwater poles in freshwater?
Buy an ugly-stik and a penn reel. These two items you can use anywhere.
ok so i want to go to the bass pro shop and buy my husband a good freshwater spin reel for chrismas (i only have $100.00 bucks) but i know nothing about reels so can you please tell me what would be good one for that price?
I was going to tell you the Pflueger President is probably the best you can get for the money. Bassmaster is right on in showing you this reel. I've met a few tournament anglers that use them. My brother owns one, and it is nice. I would never go spend hundreds of dollars on a Shimano reel when this reel is just as good. This reel cannot be beat, you get a whole lot more than what you pay for!
It was the kind of blast furnace sun that could burn off a layer of No. 35 sun block on the back of your neck in 10 minutes.
The air temperature was running high, but the TMA area of the Housatonic River above the covered bridge in Cornwall was running low.
It felt like a day better suited for sitting in an air-conditioned bar sipping beer so cold your fingers hurt gripping the bottle than for casting for smallmouth bass in a river that was no deeper than two feet in any given spot.
But since the cool bar was not at hand, I reared back with my ultra-light spinning rod and chucked a small, yellow Rapala toward what looked like a deeper hole three-quarters of the way across the river. The lure landed far from its target but with one turn of the reel handle the water exploded like the lure had hit a submerged mine.
Out of the spray shot a foot-long silver fish that, even from so far away, looked to be more angry than scared.
Smallmouth on!
For the next two hours I forgot about the oppressive heat as smallie after smallie blasted my lures.
Every fishing rod and fishing reel are slightly different, and have their own sets of strengths and weaknesses. It's important that you pair your rod and reel selection so together. You don't want a light reel with a heavy rod, or you won't have enough feeling, and at the same time, too light of a rod with a heavier reel won't allow you to fight a larger fish. Luckily, Extreme Fishing Outfitters offers rod and reel combos, so that you can be sure everything will work together well.
