TOP GEAR FOR WELL UNDER $200! Two Affordable Shimano Spin Outfits Tested

Not everyone can afford to pay $300, $500 or even as much as $1,000 for a top-of-the-line "finesse" spin outfit for light lure and bait fishing... So, what's available these days for well under $200, and just how good is this "budget" gear? In this video I check out two amazing contenders in exactly that price range from Shimano... and I give away the two test reels to a pair of lucky viewers!
01/07/23: WINNERS ANNOUNCED!
I'm delighted to announce that the winners of the two reels, in accordance with the terms & conditions described below, are as follows:
SHIMANO SIENNA 2500 - Mark Monkley (@user-rd5ic8ri2B)
SHIMANO CATANA 2500 - Tim Harriss (@timharriss7449) Tim's suggestion was for me to do a basic "spooling up" video showing how to do it best to avoid problems.
