Soft plastic reels

Hey guys how are we all,
Looking for ideas on a reel ( brand and size) for bream/flattys, will only be used for soft plastics and hard body lures, any ideas would be very helpful, and maybe even braid pound and leader pound would be good, thank you in advanced

Plenty of specials there for that sort of stuff. In my younger days I used hand lines. What's all this bullsit about models? Talk to your tackle guys.

I dont think he was asking for a reel that is soft and plastic Vince..

Shimano stradic 2500fj. Good size for your smaller stuff around the river and can also handle the bigger fish from the ocean. I was catching 5kg+ salmon on mine a couple weeks ago

I was impressed with Penn Effinity 4000 but my current love is a Daiwa Freams 2500, perfect little reel for targetting bream.

shimano technium 1000 or the rarerenium are both good reels high drag presssure 5kg for the technium and a 2500 rarerenium has 10kg i use 4lb nanofil and 6lb fluro leader does the job for me and so fun to use also thats on a technium .

my mate uses the rarenium with 10lb nanofil and 8lb fluro they even use these for snapper now people load them with 20lb and then the fun really begins lol
