tell me witch ones better an dont wory about price
they are links copy and paste them
2 and 3 are the same reel.
#2 or 3 would probably be your best bet given the selection. It’s a basic aluminum frame reel. The design has been around forever. South Bend is not known for the best quality, but there’s not to much to mess up on this type of reel.
#1 is a graphite frame reel. The tolerances in these is not always too good. In a 7/8 weight it could make a big difference in how smooth the reel operates. I wouldn’t buy it. Maybe a 3/4 wt for panfish where the reel will only be holding the line, but that’s about it.
#4 Stay Away! I know this company. This one looks much better than it really is.
