Reel choice
Submitted by Hambo on Wed, 2012-12-05 15:31
Hey Guys,
Just got a new Shimano Terez 6'9" spin Medium/Heavy (Fast) rod from the mrs for an early xmas present. Looking at using it for an all round rod for Bottom Bouncing, Soft Plastics and some light jigging as well. After some advice on what reel would balance out nicely with it. The rod is rated for 30-50lb power pro. Have a few reels in mind, dont want to spend a fortune for a stella 5000 (as much as id like to) so was looking at possibly a Saragosa 8000F or possibly a Shimano Stradic 6000 or 8000FJ. Whats your advice out there?

Out of those I'd go the

The Gosa is just too heavy.
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Cheers guys
I was leaning towards the Stradic. Just heard they were a bit more delicate and weren't as robust.

shimano sustain if you can
shimano sustain if you can swing it
If I spent half as long fishing , as I do reading this bloody forum , I'd be twice the fisherman I am.

Bio Master
What about the biomaster- I though they were the second generation twin power so to speak? they come in PG models too and fair price from what I have seen.

Cheers.
Thanks for the advice guys. Am thinking of going with the Stradic 8000fj and spooling it with some Sunline super PE 40lb in hi vis green.
