The shimano curado is a nice reel that can be had at clearance prices in the lower 100 dollar range. you can usually find them in a couple different gear ratios, but they are probably limited now due to the clearance. You wont find a revo that cheap unless you buy used. I have them both and love both of them for different reasons, as they both have their place. If you are just looking to get a decent baitcaster I would look at the shimano citica, especially at the prices now. If you want to blow some money and upgrade, get the curado. Both would do just fine for a frogging rod

Might take a look at the Pflueger Patriarch, if you don't mind the wide spool version, the price is good and it would make a good frog reel.

I'll agree with the curado E7 at the price they can be found out right now.
But as far as non-sale reels, the lews speed spool reels reels are suppose to be fantastic reels across the board. In you price range, they've got 3 different reels to chose from.

In your stated price range, i would try to get a curado E7. Cabellas and Academy have both been running sales on the clearance E reels. They both have them at $119 if they ahve any left. Check the online sites to see if they are still instock. The Curado has not always been my top pick at it's full retail price, but at the clearance price, it's hard to beat. The other reel i always recomend at this price level is a BPS pro Qualifier. Most every one i know that bought one of these loves it. I know of one or two people that got a dud when they bought one, but i see duds of every reel out there. If you get one of any reel and it doesn't seem to cast or crank as it should, send it back right away, they all let some duds slip through.

If you are going to order on-line, I would wait until the end of next week, should be some goods sales with the Holiday.

Pro Reels recommendations are spot on, but I'm going to add another to the mix. I don't know if you would spend $129.00 but the Bass Pro Carbon Black reel would be another option I'd recommend. I purchased one this year and I couldn't be happier. I have 3 Pro Qualifiers and love those reels as well. The Carbon Black is a step up from the Por Qualifiers with a strong pound drag rating of 14 pounds. The one I purchased has been a very smooth dependable reel.

I like the Shimano Curado, and at the sale price it is a very good deal. I do think that the Patriarch at 109 is a better deal, it has a better finish, dual brakeing and is very very smooth on the cast and retrieve. Just comes down to how you want to spend your money.

You ever notice Revos hardly ever go on sale.
