Don't know if you have seen them yet but Shimano makes "Low end" baitcasters. Bass Pro Shops do not carry them,but Cabela's do. Sure they are cheap in price, but not in qaulity. I have been using the Coriolis. Perfect for the guy that doesn't want/have a wad of cash to spend. Shimano is a great manufacturer, can't go wrong there...
