The EFS30 is about 60 bucks. Looks like a solid reel and has performed well for me in its limited use. I'm not crazy about the button, as Redneck's fell out before it ever tasted water, but I'm waiting to see. The equivalent Shimano will set you back about 80-100 bucks, but I don't have any complaints about Shimano quality. Shimano has the right idea with the handle though.....no parts to fall out.

Ask me again next spring, and I'll be able to give you better feedback. laugh
