About $200 dollars.

Seriously though, if you are an avid fisherman, you know the difference between a $30 reel and a $200 dollar reel.

Usually bearing count. Bearings and gears are the most expensive parts of a good reel. Plus most expensive spinning reels use quality components for the drag friction material. Nice piece, it it were an Ultra light model we could talk.

well considering i have been an avid fisherman for 20 years,

i have a reel that is a 200 real that i got on clearence for like half price ..i still use my 30 dollar reels over it

i do not notice any more quality during use, maybe its just the reel , but its big claim to fame was the bearings, but it does not seem to work better
