A spinning reel review is a real challenge because of the vast choice and the highly competitive market.

A personal judgment of a reel is based often on the personal skill level and the type of fish one fishes.

There are however some helps to make us have a more or less balanced opinion: word of mouth, awards and indipendent reviews.

Here I collected some hints for you when considering buying top of the notch spinninh fishing reels for both saltwater and freshwater.

From: "The American Game Fishes", by different authors, Rand McNally and Company, Chicago and New York, 1892.
Text by B.C. MILAN (the highlights are all mine)

"....We have, in the next class, the multiplier. This class is
as numerous as the sands, and the price varies according to
material and workmanship. They are all made after the
same style and upon the same principle, viz: a wheel work-
ing into a pinion, the pinion attached to the spool multiply-
ing twice, four times, or even oftener. Some people are sur-
prised when they hear that a fine multiplying reel costs sev-
enty-five dollars or one hundred dollars; but when we explain
that these extra fine ones are made of coin-silver, with gold
slides and trimmings and jeweled bearings, the price does not
appear extravagant. "
