Mid-Low Spinning reel options
Looking for a spinning reel to accompany a 7-0 ML Abu Garcia Volatile. I would like to keep the reel in the $50-$70 range if possible. I havent had much experience with any spinning reels outside of a few Penns growing up, and my current two cheapies
(penn fierce/ okuma stratus GT). Outside of freshwater application this reel would see light saltwater, and I typ wash my reels after the occasional salty trip.
I was looking at these options thus far:
Daiwa Exceler-HA
SHimano Sedona FD
Abu Garcia Orra S
Any suggestions, I'm not opposed to BPS/Cabelas house offerings nor do I have any real brand descrepancies.

From those three I would pick the Exceler. I have the three brands, all are good but Daiwa spinning reels are nicer.

Usually $100. Very good reel and a steal at that price. I've bought from there several times and they've always been perfect.

If you can pick up a Daiwa Aird spinner for your budget they are tremendous value for such a light reel. Come with a spare spool too.

If you don't mind buying Chinese and aren't in a rush this is a great reel for the money:

Was sold in the US as the Evercast Forge for like $110 for a while.

I will second that daiwa spinners, especially in the mid range tend to be a lot nicer. If you can shop one in your price range I would definitely look at the daiwa tierra/advantage. The tierras have performed excellently for me as a cross over from salt to fresh water. It has a waterproof-ish drag and a "washable design".
another reel which might be interesting may be the pflueger arbor, it has a bigger spool for supposed casting distance, my main interest in it would be for line manageability for stiffer mono and fluorocarbon. I have never tried it but it looks good for about 80-90 dollars.

In the range.your looking, you can't go wrong with the pflueger President. Solid reel, excelent drag, and durable.
Re: Mid-Low Spinning reel options
I was going to mention the pflueger president series too, but he did say it would see light salt water use.

If you can swing the extra $25-$30 for a Daiwa SS Tournament, do it. You won't be sorry
