Thread: New reel need opinion.

Its hard to beat a Pflueger president, if your looking for a spinning reel...

If you’re fishing small plastics I would try to find the lowest speed reel I could get. Mine are 4.8 and the next new one will be 4.6.

My problem is I’m not sure if I should go with high speed or low speed reel. I like Tatula but only come with high speed 30-32� IPT. All my reels even bait caster is or converted to low speed 22-25� IPT. I like Tatula and caught a lot of fish in it but every time I have to remind myself to slow down when retrieving and some how I feel less confident of my retrieving speed when compare with my baitcaster (22� IPT). On the other hand Tatula is good when bobbers fishing or reel to set hook. What speed should I get if I’m only cast and reel type fishing?
Dang it is so hard to find low speed reel in US.

The Ballistic FW 1000 is 4.8. The 20 Luvias LT 2000 series is 5.1.

Slow speed for me.

I use a Shimano Spirex 1000 for Crappie. I like it.

I just bought a new one at WalMart for around $35. Not sure if it's a president or not, but it's a small Pflueger. Smooth as silk so far.
