One TOTALLY STOCK reel to rule them all
Okay, I should have known better than to ask a bunch of gear heads to pick a reel without any restrictions, so I'm reposting the question, but this time the reel need to be totally stock, off the shelf, NIB,other than clean and reoil/relube.
And it has to be a bait caster, and under $300.
New in box, available new today or within the last five years.
I read so much here about how guys modify their reels after they get them that I was wondering which reel they'd choose if they couldn't modify anything.
I'm looking for their one workhorse reel that can do everything.

Let's make it under $300, so we can see what affordable reels folks choose.

If you could raise the bar until $400, I would recommend 15 Conquest 200/201HG.
"North" of America...

That's one versatile all around setup.
This is the way.

SV103H or Chronarch MGL.
Re: One TOTALLY STOCK reel to rule them all
$300 or less I'm sticking with my lews. The only reason I really get away from lews is for bfs stuff or more refined round reels(conquest), lews is a really great value the team lite and pro magnesium are amazing reels and look very nice also.
I would really like to see lews come out with something to compete with the $400-500 market but I'm not counting on it, they have a great thing going with their current lineup.
