Which of these reels are better

Question

i am trying to decide on which reel is better for fishing on beaches and in lakes. these are the reels i am stuck between.

okuma salina

okuma inspira

quantum kinetic

pflueger medalist

Answer 1

i would definitely get the okuma salina i think that's the best one well thats my opinion

Answer 2

which of these reels IS better, i have no idea.

Answer 3

For me it's a tie between the Inspira and the Kinetic.  I like the Okuma's, but I'm not fond of the salina.  It actually didn't perform as well as I thought it would.  I had one for about a month, one I used for light duty pier fishing...didn't like it.  The inspira however, has always been a great reel for me.  I own an IS30.

I've never owned a Kinetic, but I've fished with one ONCE.  I liked it.  

The medalist and the salina just aren't all that great in my book.  They just don't stack up for the price you're paying.  I don't care if it's a $19 reel or a $300 reel, it just better be worth the price you pay.  

Answer 4

my opinion the best is which ever one you feel the most comfortable with and which one do you reach for when you're heading out fishing??
