Suggestions for new reels?
Submitted by Smasha on Thu, 2012-06-07 17:58
Hi guys, I am looking for ideas for a new spinning reel to suit my 8ft Penn power graph, with the rods line rating 5-10 kg. It's my all purpose rod that I use off the beach, rockwalls, jetties etc. Got a pretty limited budget (missus freaked out at a $150 price tag :D) so, I dunno, around $100-120? I was just looking at the Penn spinfisher series as a starter, as there are so many reels about, its making my head explode...so any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Emcast 6000 sport
Daiwa emcast, good reel in my eyes for that price $120. It'll do the job that you want to use it for nicely, And can handle the bigger fish too,

Nothing wrong with Penn Spinfishers
Pretty much indestructible and at around 100 bucks they are great value.

Okuma Hardstone HS-55. I've
Okuma Hardstone HS-55. I've got a HS-30 that I use on a light bream rod & on a 3-7kg 8ft rod & it's a great reel capable of stopping some pretty big fish. Super smooth waterproof drag, spare spool, 9 bearings & a lifetime warranty. For $105 I can't fault them. I've got a 1000 size Stradic on another dropshot rod & I actually prefer the Okuma.
